1st Yr of College...

Ahhh! College! Many things can be said about this new lifesyle that few get to experience. I've only been here for 2 months and I have good as well as bad things to say. But theres positive and negative things about any and everything in life. Anywho, I attend the notorious HERKIMER COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE aka The Hood or Party Central. Aww man, Lol... The school is okay, Its the people, I take that back, Its SOME of the people here that make the experience not worth it (As well as the distance frm home 3hrs). I guess its all about who you are and who you associate yourself with that either makes or breaks your experience here. I advise if you are able to go to college, pursuit it! It's there, open, and available to help you better yourself &Hopefully become successful. Just remember nothing in this world is free and nothing comes easy &If it is (easy) its not gonna be worth it nor is it going to better you in the long run ;) Well I gotta go get ready for my next class; Business Organization &Managment... OH Yeah! My Major is Business Administration, Lol... Later Guys! " )

Judgment Day...

It's too much of a small world here on Earth... Sometimes I wish I could visit a far away land, far from this sadistic place I call Home. Somewhere that has genuine beings, where I don't have to watch my back or demand respect (because it's already given)... Sadly, no such place exists. Instead, we live in a world where respect is insufficient. I Believe if you are living, walking around going here and doing this +that, you should be respected. Hands Down. We have people getting shot, jumped, and in some cases killed for redundant reasons. I know this sounds cliché but where's the love? Now I'm not apotheosis, I've had my perversive days, but I don't let these days deteriorate me. I Believe along with life and living comes growth. Needless to say growth is a positive thing (Lol). I just wish Everyone could invision this impeccable place I dream of... : )

Turning Point

Today [2-12-2010] Starts a NEW Chapter in this book I call LIFE. Today could not have been a better wake up call for my Near FUTURE! Now don't get me wrong, I don't see into the future and I'm not playing God... But I do believe EVERY SINGLE THING happens for a Reason! &I am Grateful for this (&every) day... Get Your Own House in Order! Words to live by! : )

Fresh Start!

Everyone comes across 'hard-times' in their life at some point. Whether it's losing money or losing a loved one. Just know that the sun+blues skies will be waiting for you on the other side, ready to embrace you with it's warmth.
Everything happens for a reason, so don't dwell on the past and put your best foot forward. Take on the world with a smile : ) My Blessings To You! Happy, Happy! New Year!

College Trip !

I was blessed to be picked to on go a college trip to Coppin State University. Restless and eager to go, I decided to do a little research of the college. In the process I found out how good their pizza is(lol) and how proud the students are about their school. Going even deeper into my research I found out who the school was named after.



Fanny Jackson Coppin is her name. She was born a slave in Washington D.C, on October 15,1837. She gained her freedom when her aunt was able to purchase her at 12 years old. Jackson worked as a servant for author George Henry Calvert through her teen years. In 1860 she enrolled at Oberlin College in Ohio. Oberlin College was the 1st college in the U.S. to accepted black and/or female students. After she graduated in 1865, Jackson became a high school teacher at the Institute for Colored Youth(ICY) in PA. Jackson taught Greek, Latin, and mathematics. By 1869 Jackson became principal of the institute, making her the 1st African American women to receive the title of school principal. She held this position until 1906.
Fanny Jackson didn't only provide African American youth with education, she found homes for working and poor women. Jackson also was an influential columnist who defended the rights of women and blacks. Jackson added missionary work to her long list of accomplishments when she married on December 21,1881 to Rev. Levi Jenkins Coppin, a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal(AME). The married couple went to south Africa and founded the Bethel Institute, a missionary school which emphasized self-help programs, in 1902. Coppin returned to PA because of declining health, after a decade of missionary work.
Fanny Jackson Coppin died on January 21,1913. In 1926, a Baltimore teacher training school was named after her(the Fanny Jackson Coppin Normal School). It is now Coppin State University.
