How I did it
It made me
accomplished 
How I did it: I am from a poor family. I have had many struggles in my life but I always knew that I wanted to go to college. The moment I got into Syracuse through the HEOP program, I knew that I would work to my full potential. In my senior year I was given many awards but I wanted and needed more time to finish various projects that I had committed myself to, so I took one extra year to finish my novella and apply to grad school. I just graduated ye… Read how I did it…
It made me
thoughtful 
How I did it: I decided that I wanted to work on me before I graduated and headed to grad school so I went to get counseling at my school's counseling center. I have done so well as a student but had so many other issues behind the scene. I really needed to do some work concerning these things. So I talked to my counselor who was wonderful. It's not over for the long haul but for now, its over ;) Read how I did it…
It made me
a writer at heart
How I did it: I wrote and wrote. I rewrote and rewrote. I thought about my novella over and over. All the time actually.I started by writing an amazing story named Raphael in my sophomore year of HS.

I have to stay off. I have to stop seeking attention from men and focus on loving my body and being single and getting my life together.
Today I decided I am going to weigh myself every other week and I am going to start eating cleaner, so limiting packaged foods, limiting carbs, focusing on fruits and vegetables and moving my body (even) more. This will be a lifestyle change. I have to interrogate what I am putting into my body. I want to be athletic, healthy, fast and toned by my own doing. No pills, weight loss surgeries ideas or shakes. Just me eating better and moving more and more.
I want to feel sexy in myself and not be even willing to entertain half-baked sexual relationships with ppl who don’t care about me.
