Hey guys, so as you all know I'm a member of the Relay For Life committee at FIU and participated as a team captain last year. I have never had cancer, had a family member have cancer, or have seen a friend go through hardships with this disease. So why should it affect me? This is why (Please Play the Video):
How can something that is so strong nation wide not affect you as a person? As a citizen it is your duty to give back to those less fortunate and as a human you should care about those around you. My mother (God forbid) could be on this video one day, or you, or me. Wouldn't you like someone to be there for you if it does happen? Someone to fight for your cause when you can't even walk? Fight with us however you can. Love. <3 Just wanted to share this, Participate this year in the Livestrong walk on campus and join Relay for Life. Thanks <3

Miami is the host of America's most attractive citizens =)
No one can compete with that statement ;). According to an online survey of "America's Favorite Cities" conducted by Travel + Leisure Magazine, Miami is home to the most beautiful people in the nation. Consider yourself lucky to live in such a diverse metropolis where you can find beauties from the four corners of the world. Maybe we're beautiful (yes we lol) because of the beachy atmosphere or the idea that Miami is a non sleep, always something to do type of city. Whatever it is, we're hot B). Pat yourself on the back =)

Top Skills Needed to Succeed in Life...
This is harder than I thought, I'm applying for an Internship online and they're asking what my "Special Skills" are. I dunno what to put.. I'm double jointed? w/e lol its time to look for some internet help. Thank jeebus for google =).
According to quintcareers.com, these are the most sought after skills in employess:
Skills Most Sought After by Employers
Communications Skills (listening, verbal, written). By far, the one skill mentioned most often by employers is the ability to listen, write, and speak effectively. Successful communication is critical in business.
Analytical/Research Skills. Deals with your ability to assess a situation, seek multiple perspectives, gather more information if necessary, and identify key issues that need to be addressed.
Computer/Technical Literacy. Almost all jobs now require some basic understanding of computer hardware and software, especially word processing, spreadsheets, and email.
Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing Multiple Priorities. Deals with your ability to manage multiple assignments and tasks, set priorities, and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments.
Interpersonal Abilities. The ability to relate to your co-workers, inspire others to participate, and mitigate conflict with co-workers is essential given the amount of time spent at work each day.
Leadership/Management Skills. While there is some debate about whether leadership is something people are born with, these skills deal with your ability to take charge and manage your co-workers.
Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness. There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and job-seekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures.
Planning/Organizing. Deals with your ability to design, plan, organize, and implement projects and tasks within an allotted timeframe. Also involves goal-setting.
Problem-Solving/Reasoning/Creativity. Involves the ability to find solutions to problems using your creativity, reasoning, and past experiences along with the available information and resources.
Teamwork. Because so many jobs involve working in one or more work-groups, you must have the ability to work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal.
I think I embody most if not all of these qualities so hopefully I'll get the Internship lol. I hope this information helps you in your future endeavors!!! Good luck =) <333

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Lift every voice and sing,
Til Earth and Heaven ring.
Ring to the harmonies of Liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the listening skies.
Let us resound load as the rolling Sea.
Sing a song, full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.
Sing a song, full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun,
Of a new day begun.
Let us march on,
Til victory is won.
I wish I was there, when this song was in its prime. During the fight for racial independence was at its peak. I wonder what I would've done if I was segregated against, who would I have been, submissive or rebellious. Would I be dead already because of my strong character? I have never experienced racial slurs to their fullest, why would I, I live in Miami which is liek 90% Hispanic. Ive often wondered if I would be scared to encounter a hate crime but luckily this has never been a problem for me.
What would you do? If you were Jewish in th Holocaust, or Black or Hispanic in the early ninteen hundreds? Would you hide your true heritage if you could? If you were "white" enough? I would never, i'm too proud and that could have led to my untimely death. But to go back on who u truly are is dying, supressing your roots would lead to suffcation at least in my case. I'd rather die standing, than live on my knees (Thanks Shania). <3 Just late night thought... im so random lol. The song is beautiful though, i miss singing it at assemblies.

American Civil Tragedies
So today is 9/11, Patriots Day. Everyone remembers where the were that day, you've heard people retell their stories on the radio and shared their fears with an audience. I'm not going to be all cheesy telling you that its the saddest day in history, I'm just going to say remember. We were young when this happened, but we cant ever forget the tragedy that struck us seven years ago, the fear that struck home.
Unfortunately I feel that many of us have forgotten events that have hithard, such as Pearl Harbor, Dessert Storm, the Cold War, etc. Yes these things are in the past but you need to remember the mistakes we've made and the process we went through in order to overcome them so that if ever similar situations come up we know how to avoid them or recover from them.
Spend today with your families, love them, and be proud to be an American. Love everyone one, we're all in this together no matter who you've voted for or are. We're all Americans.

I'm a New Soul
Lovely =) Perfect for a new start of year X]
PS I want a house like that... lol
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong?
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake

Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
Take take take take take... take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
(oh oh oh oh...)
