Pursuing Your Dreams
Wishing for a better life and wishing to reach your dreams is something that we all want to do. Staying focus and doing things you need to do to pursue your dreams. There are people in this world that don't want to see others succeed and have a great life. You can’t let others determine where you’re going to go in life. I know sometimes it get stressful and it cause pain, but that's what keeps you strong. Growing through the pain should motivate you, keep you to grinding so you won’t feel that pain again. Once you find out exactly what you want to achieve your goal. Sometimes you put so many obstacles in your own way that you forget why you wanted to start the damn thing to begin with. So you have to motivate yourself, people don't understand why your dreams and desires are important to you. If you have to put in overtime, staying overnight working on something that you care about even when it’s not making you money right now is ok. Sometimes you have to stop and think about reality because you only have one life. Live it to the max of your potential. You’re the only one that can make your dreams come true not others. So therefore nothing is unreachable. If it is needed change your surroundings, because it's sad to say you are who you hang around. If your around five people that don’t care for life. You will become the sixth person that don’t care about life. Now you’re around five successful people you will become the sixth person to become successful person out the group. Ask people that are successful in life and are living out there dreams. What were somethings they were going through, how they reached the point in their life, what kept them going. Asking those question could really help you in the long run. I’m a photographer and my dreams are to travel the world taking pictures and giving the people what they want to see. I started looking at the big picture and started focusing on exactly what I wanted to achieve in life. Every morning waking up I tell myself to be great, stay positive and have faith. Only thing I can say is to become the person that you have always dream to become.
You want to know what’s so great about being a photographer or even being in the photographer field is that you get a chance to capture the moments. The special moments where you are being awarded for your accomplishments. Once you see the pictures you start to reminisce and think about that moment having a whole story to tell about it. You get a chance to just travel the world taking pictures. Site seeing different this catching snaps of the view of the world. It’s seems really easy to become a photographer. If you take pictures on your phone post them, either if you edit them in some way. You are considered a photographer. There is a lot of money in the photography field. It’s more to it than just taking pictures. You have to edited them add your tag in the pictures to let people know your brand. You should have a set price range for your customers because there are a lot of people in the world that love to have pictures of themselves or photos from a family events. Sports teams could hire you just to take pictures of the game and the fans while the game is going on. There is just so many ways you can work with a camera. You can do your own personal photoshoots & charge people as you take there photos. Photography is really easy to do and a fast, but also fun way to make money.

When you hear people saying they would prefer to be behind the camera than in for of it. They really understand about the photography world and the media life. I’m just here to tell you that nothing is wrong with traveling the world taking pictures, just enjoying life capturing the moments is fun.
Graduation Time Class Of 2018, Where Black Grads Matter! I have been waiting for this moment for about 5 years now. I attend Lane College a Division II School. I just can say that I am really proud of myself & the things that I have been through just for me to get to this point in my life. One of the first in my family as a male to graduate from college. it’s been a long process from failing classes, taking them over, professors pushing me to do better and to become a better person. Once my senior year started I wanted to make sure that I was ahead in my class so there could be nothing to hold me back from graduating. Taking four major classes and playing baseball was kind of hard for me. Just had to understand that I am a student-athlete which means, me being a student comes first. Some sad things about the graduation are that I didn’t graduate with the class that I have come in with, and this may be my last time seeing some of the people that I am graduating with. One thing about graduating is that, it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to receive your bachelor degree as long as you receive it. There are some things you should know before graduating. One thing you should know is what you are doing or where you are going once you graduate because the real world is nothing to play with. I know people that have graduated and now they are home doing nothing with their lives. Some graduates didn’t receive a job in there career field until 3 years later. So knowing what your going to do after graduation is a very big role. The graduation rate for black graduates are increasing & we can make a difference.
