One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being able to have travelled a little bit - I have seen some amazing things. For example, I have done some hitchiking and while traveling in Mexico, I was on the side of the street with two friends; with no luck - it began to rain and decided to run for shelter. When we finally found a little rest area, a lady and her two daughters offered us food and water. This put almost put my friends and I to tears. I will never forget her.

When living in a small city, Nakuru, Kenya - I was living with an amazing woman - who day in and day out was helping her community in such a big way. She worked at orphanages to ensure that kids were getting everything that they needed. She helped under privileged families among a million of other things. She gave me such a positive look on life. She gave me energy and optimism that will forever stay with me .

Teach, Learn, Share

To make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even a genius asks-es questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, it's the fame...
