Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…
As today is Veteran's Day, we remember all of those who have served our country of the United States of America in battle. I will be forever thankful for those who have served, currently serve, and will serve. With today in mind being the theme of remembrance, it makes me think about us as…
Personal improvement can be difficult. You have to identify where you need to improve, you need to know how to improve, and you have to put those actions into action. The hardest part for me is not being aware of what I am doing or what I need to do, it is getting myself in…

The idea of "New Year, New Me" is living in the minds of many as the calendar shifts to a new year: 2019. I am in this mindset, but I don't need a "new" me. I need a "better" me. I don't want to change who I am. I want to be better at who…
