1. What’s my sentence?
I have broken the barrier between my written unspoken words and the sound they should be producing, through an album which details to the world the thoughts of a foreign teenager trying to make a success of his life contrary to common opinion.
2. Was I better today than I was yesterday?
What have I learned? How have I grown? I could easily reply to these questions with a simple responses of “nothing” and “in no way at all”, however I will try my best to detail what little I feel I have managed to gain from this project up to date. I have not input much work into the research of my project or gathering the required necessities to accomplish it. I have been preoccupied with work, school, and college and have sent my project to the back of my mind. However, I do know I need to get my act together and begin taking the project more seriously because time goes by awfully fast. This semester went by like lighting and the pressure to get my work started has begun. I have learned that thinking that simply because I have a whole year to do something, I can't put it off now because I'll end up putting it off until the end. The longer one has the harsher and more critical the commentaries will be by people who expect something amazing. Perhaps the biggest concept I have gained this semester is that I myself have to be my own motivator. Not many will gladly offer their time to give me a word of advice and or a motivation speech. I have to be able to pump myself up and tell myself that I can do it and probably even reprimand myself. What steps have I finally taken toward executing my plans? This, this is a step. Actually doing my work is a big step. I had not changed much since August until now that the first semester is about to culminate. This Christmas break I have to create blueprints to finally begin following for my project. My mindset is set. As the world renowned rap artist Eminem once declared, “Success is my only mother[given] option, failure is not”.
