When people speak about dreams it bothers me internally. I
was taught when I was younger, nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream, so a
dream was never part of my thought process it was always goals. I despise
dreamers with a passion because dreaming is a form of wishing, which holds no
action ability within the concept.
Graduating from Full sail University started out as a dream
to me when I was a tenth grader in high school. I continuously contacted the
school for more information; I was told there was no financial aid available. I
was miserable because my mother was pressuring me to go to college but it
wasn’t visible in my lane of life at the time, unless it was full sail
University.
Growing up in Columbus Ohio was quite of an interesting
experience. I lost a lot of my friends to death or the penitentiary at a young
age, due to gang and criminal activity. These events gave me inspiration to
follow my intuition to achieve my goals. I found an outlet through creative
content, to release stress and tension off my chest, though music.
I chose to leave the city and attend a historical black
college, Central State University to escape the madness that was surrounding me
inside the inner city.
Then a drastic change occurred in my life, which will never
be forgotten. I was performing my music at a local club in Columbus, and seen a
individual who actually shot one of my childhood friends right in front of me,
At the time I was a young and did not think much. I proceeded to approach the
man in anger, not knowing he was carrying a gun, he pulled it out and tried to
shoot me in the head. Some how I manage to block the bullet from my head, with
my hand.
This experience prepared me to follow goals instead of
dreams. I’ve become more humble and more ambitious than I’ve ever been, in a
blink of an eye I could have ended up another name on the list of homicides in Columbus.
But my purpose is greater than I can begin to image I believe GOD will allow me
to be everything I want to be through him, and I will be successful and a
legend due to my works and passions.
