I've been surrounded by people that dont want anything. If they claim they wanted something they were still not willing to get up And Go GET IT.The Things They Desired Was Nothing But A Thought, Want, And Words Never Put Into Action. That's why I strive to make differential choices , which Pays Off In The Long Run , If I Really Want something TRUST Me I'm Not Gonna Talk About It I'ma Start Makin It Happen.
Action baby ain't nothin to it but to do it. Don't talk about It prove it. This ain't 3D baby this is REALITY , Come back to it! Nobody Is Ever Gonna Hand You Anything You Gotta work For It .
I am a an 18 Year old whom dropped out of high school at the age of 17 last year because I chose to make bad decisions in not attending school on a daily basis and was told I wasn't going to graduate til I turn 21.
