After reading tons of posts,I just realized that I supposed to list 6 unknown things about myself so here they are: 1. Although I have a deep passion for servant leadership and customer service, if I ever had the funds, I would start an AFFORDABLE community daycare center that provides 24 hr daycare in a real home setting. Bedrooms, playrooms, homemade meals, you name it. As well as transportation to and from the home and for children that want to be involved in extracurricular activities but cant due to parents work hours and lack of transportation assistance. Ive struggled with all this, and currently still have to decline my son from many activities due to my work schedule and lack of assistance with additional transportation, therefore I would love to be able to help other families some day. 2. I love the arts. Poetry, theater, artwork etc. I dont spend the time memorizing authors, writers, or artist names but I have such an in depth appreciation for their work because they allow me to feel and grasp my inner emotions. (Often leading to tears, rather joy or sorrow lol) 3. Many people have said this statement but I know this is too much of a truth for me. I am my own worst enemy. For some reason, I find so much pleasure in helping everyone else, that I leave myself in the dust. I know it is commendable to always be that broad shoulder and it gives me an indescribable satisfaction, but I also know that if I dont protect myself in the mist and take the utmost care of myself, Im going to lose myself at my own expense. Somehow I need to continue being as compassionate and giving as I am, without sacrificing me. I believe too much in people and often get taken advantage of. 4. For as much as an open book I am, there are many things I did not and will not share because 1) I dont want sympathy as I use these things to persevere, and 2) it would be useless because often times being the one person that can be depended on to help others, means that there really is no one that can help you 5. I really wish that I knew my father a lot better. Although it was dead wrong how he left and disowned me, I have so many questions about my heritage, my family, and Africa that I feel would be better answered by him. Its tough walking around with such a defined name, without a piece of heritage to hang onto along with it. Feels like Im missing a part of me. One day, I will make it to Nigeria though. 6. Sometimes I appear to be shy but the truth is I am not. I just try to be respectful as possible and sometimes that means I have to stay quiet. Otherwise my thoughts and feelings will in some way or another, get me in trouble. -
