"All the street lights glowing, happened to be just like moments, passing, in front of me. So, I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare. See, I know my destination but I'm just not there, in the streets. I'm just not there, life's just not fair." - Kanye West (Street Lights) I think this is the perfect song to describe me and my life. I interpret the song to be about someone who knows what they want in life and where they want to be in a few years but they're just not there yet. Everything is passing them by as they try to reach their goals but they keep moving through life until they have achieved whatever they set out to prove. This song is perfect, every single word of it. I feel like I have done so many things in the short amount of time I have been alive but yet I haven't been as successful and accomplished as I would like to be. Like the song says, I know my destination but I'm just not there. I have a plan for how my life should work out, even if it doesn't go as exactly as planned, I will keep climbing to the skies to reach my goals.

Everyone is exactly where they are supposed to be in life right now. You are not ahead and are definately not behind! Some of the goals we set for ourselves are not the "things" that are actually meant for us.

I like your comments, nobody else really ever has anything to say so I like when I have some feedback... Thank you. And I am trying to see how my life plays out and however God intended it to be. I feel like just enrolling into college made me as a person feel so much better in order to get to the life that I feel I deserve. I don't want to delay anymore.

I think that is the right path for everyone. But what I will say about Kaplan is that if you don't plan on furthering your education Kaplan is cool, but if you do I would recommend at least checking out metro. You don't use up as much of you state and federal aid plus you have a better grasp on who you are. Before I went to nursing school I went to vatterott college and the money I made after graduating was Wayyyy less than the money I owed after graduation which at those types if schools they never tell you. Do your homework on the schools, the profession you want, the pay and the best way to get there. Don't get stuck in a never ending school debt that most young blacks do. You have no kids, go to a college that is going to get you the degree you want without without the unnecessary baby steps. Go for what you want but always do your homework and check the facts before jumping into anything. You deserve only the best, don't settle for Kaplan when you could do better. Not hating on Kaplan but that's more of a "I have kids and need something to do with my life now" or a "I flunked out of traditional college and this is what on settling for" so go for the gusto! YOU CAN DO IT!

I chose Kaplan because it's close to where I live lol and they seemed to have what I was looking for when I looked into the programs. I would've gone to metro but I decided to stick with Kaplan because if I stay on track and really buckle down and focus then I will have my Master's by the time I'm 24, it's dedication but I just cant keep putting things on hold for my convenience. I start class in 2 weeks and they have a 3 week commitment period and that's used to decide if you think it is a good fit for you or not. I will continue to do my research on it but so far I feel pretty good about it. if it's not meant to be, then hey, I gave it a shot but I won't give it up without trying it out first.

Great attitude! I am just one of those people that likes to tell people the things I wish someone had told me, that's all. But as long as you have done the research and feel good about it......YOU GO GIRL, YOU GOT IT!

About the AuthorI got the idea to create a blog in December 2014 on a random type of day.Writing has always been therapeutic; the only way I could communicate clearly, in actual words instead of struggling to unscramble the swirl of images, metaphors & analogies that is my thought process.
