WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A HAPPY FAMILY?

WHAT MAKES A HAPPY FAMILY IF YOU ASK ME IS THROUGH THICK AND THEN EVERYBODY STILL COMES TOGETHER AS ONE!

MY FAMILY IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF A VERY DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT AT ALL! BUT, ONE THING I KNOW IS WHEN WE HAVE A MAJOR CRISIS WE KNOW THAT IT IS TIME TO STICK TOGETHER!!!.......

FAMILIES DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO RESEMBLE THE BRADY BUNCH IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED PERFECT AND HAPPY....THEY JUST NEED LOVE AND PEACE, WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING MY FAMILY CARRIES AT ALL!!LOL.....

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FAMILY WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT WHO YOU LIVE IN THE HOUSEHOLD WITH OR JUST YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY PERIOD. BUT NEITHER HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER IN MY WORLD!...

HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE WHO I GREW UP WITH IN MY HOUSEHOLD KNOW WE HAVE EACH OTHERS BACK AT ALL TIMES! AND WE LOVE EACH OTHER TO DEATH NO MATTER WHO,WHAT,WHEN,WHERE,OR WHY...WE'RE ALL EACH OTHERS BETTER HALFS!!

A HAPPY FAMILY CAN CONSIST OF FOLLOWED TRADITIONS, FAMILY OUTINGS,GOING OUT ON THE TOWN ON A REGULAR BASIS, CELEBRATED BIRTHDAYS, JUST CALM ENJOYABLE COLLLABORATED MOMENTS THROUGHOUT THE FAMILIES JOURNEY PERIOD!

IN ORDER TO HAVE A HAPPY FAMILY AND KEEP IT, EVERYBODY HAS TO PARTICIPATE! NO-ONE SHOULD TRY AND OUT DO THE NEXT, THINK THEIR BETTER THAN THE NEXT, EXCLUDE EACH OTHER, BE SELFISH, NOR BE GREEDY! EVERYBODY SHOULD GIVE MASSIVELY AND TAKE WHAT IS GIVEN WITH A KIND HEART, NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR WHAT IT IS.

BASICALLY JUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER FOR EACH OTHER AND BE GRATEFUL YOU HAVE A REAL FAMILY BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT AND WOULD LONG FOR IT!!....

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF?

I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE MYSELF...

I LOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE MYSELF! LOL....

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MYSELF IS HOW MOTIVATED I AM AS A YOUNG WOMAN. I'V SEEN AND DONE SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU'D NEVER KNOW JUST BY LOOKING AT ME! AND YET STILL I STAND!!......

PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW ME INSIDE OUT BUT TRUTH BE TOLD THEY DON'T!.......IT'S FUNNY ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!.......

IM SO SILLY NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT MYSELF!......CRYING IS NOT SOMETHING I DO REGULARLY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SO MUCH TO LET OUT, I'D RATHER BE A MAN AND SUCK IT UP!....LOL......I LOVE THE FACT THAT I KEEP MYSELF SO CLEAN, SEXY, POSITIVE, AND JOYFUL.....

I LOVE THAT IT'S OBVIOUS I'M NOT MADE TO BE AVERAGE AND I SOOOOO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT KNOWN FACT, I LOVE HOW SMART I AM WHEN IT COMES TO THESE BOOKS!.....AND THESE STREETS....IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!

THE MOST THING I LOVE ABOUT MYSELF IS HOW STRONG I AM....NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME I STAY UP!(WITH THE HELP OF GOD!) NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE DO AND SAY TO ME I'M ALWAYS WILLING TO WELCOME THEM BACK IN WITH OPEN ARMS AND A GRACIOUS HEART....

I GUESS I JUST LOVE

HOW BLESSED I AM!

IF YOU WERE PRINCIPAL AT THIS SCHOOL WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

IF I WERE PRINCIPAL AT HIRSCH I WOULD PERSONALLY REPAINT THE SCHOOL ALL YELLOW! INSIDE AND OUT! THE COLOR IS SO BRIGHT AND VIBRANT IT WOULD LIGHT YOUR DAY UP EVERY TIME YOU CAME TOWARD IT!

SECONDLY, I'D CHANGE THE UNIFORM POLICY BACK TO NO UNIFORM AND WEAR WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO WEAR. IT'S YOUR CHOICE AS LONG AS YOU COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO!

THIRD, I'D CLEAN HOUSE ON ALL LUNCHROOM WORKERS AND GET REAL LIFE CHEFS INTO MY KITCHEN, INCLUDING MY GRANDMA EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT A REAL LIFE CHEF, SHE COULD BE!LOL....

FOURTH, I'D FIRE ALL COUNSELORS AND GET WOMEN IN THE OFFICES WHO WANT TO HELP THESE STUDENTS AND DO WHAT THEIR SUPPOSED TO DO AND NOT EXPECT THE CHILDREN TO ALREADY KNOW WHEN IT'S THEIR JOB TO SHOW THEM!

FIFTH, I'D GO THROUGHT THE SCHOOL AND SEE WHAT TEACHERS NEED TO BE HERE AND WHAT TEACHERS DO NOT! I KNOW FORA FACT I'D KEEP MS.TICHACEK AND MR. FIRKE, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE TO UNDERGO A TEACHER EVALUATION TEST IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR JOBS!

SIXTH, I'D MAKE SURE ALL THINGS DONE IN MY SCHOOL ARE PAID FOR BY THE BOARD AND ONLY THE BOARD! ALL FIELD TRIPS, FEES, ETC.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST I'D MAKE SURE EVERY CHILD HAS A PERMANENT WAY FROM SCHOOL AND TO SCHOOL! ON TIME!OH! I'D ALSO MAKE SURE ALL JUNIORS AND SENIORS HAVE OFF CAMPUS LUNCH!

THE ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT CHICAGO.....

THE ONE THING I LOVE DEARLY ABOUT MY FELLOW CITY IS DOWNTOWN AT NIGHT!

I love seeing my city lite up at night, it's one of the most gorgeous sites of all. Sometimes when theres a special occasion like a sports season, some buildings represent the colors of which ever Chicago team and sport that's playing, by forming the lights into the symbols of words representing the teams to the fullest! Having all types of slogans or just motivational phrases going on.

On holidays like Christmas, Downtown looks beautiful! It has Christmas trees, lights,decorations, and all types of fake santas with his reindeers. It just makes me anticipate on seeing it again the next year!

On New Year's Eve everything is just so bright and lovely. At twelve the Confetti falls like snow and the people just look so happy, I love it!

When I'm just driving down lake shore expressway at night, I take pictures sometimes when I'm in the passenger seat just for remembrance of MY CITY!.

ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE!

Once upon a time I was riding in my 2010 SILVER BENTLEY AZURE T with my right hand(Shawntell), cruising down memory lane. It had been about 8mths since WE'D been able to come to Chi-town and see all of our past friends and our dearest family! Being on tour always takes us away for that long but I don't mind because while we're away we're doing something we love to do! Singing and entertaining all of our wonderful fans. As we rode down the still remaining rough and bumpy street of 63rd going towards the lakefront, I find myself reminiscing about almost every and anything I'd done as a child on these streets. Everything seemed so different to the point of awkwardness. I pulled up to 79th & Cottage Grove where there was still the scene of chaos! Police still patrolling, kids still vandalizing, pauperism just everywhere! I grew angry inside, and got out of my car. I began observing the scene trying to find a way to donate millions to help this community without personally being exposed! Then "BAM" I had gotten an idea, I thought to order a hot air balloon and just fly over the whole Chicago and just drop money on any and everybody!! Not just 79th or 63rd I mean the whole city YA KNOW!!! LOL!

So i put my plan into motion and it took flight...by the end of the night I was broke and not just the average broke I was literally broke but it's okay I know I HAVE MY CAREER AND GOD SO THE MONEY WAS NOT ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM TO ME AT ALL!!

FIRST QUARTER REFLECTION!

FOR THE 1ST QUARTER I'LL HONESTLY ADMIT I DIDN'T GIVE ANY EFFORT WHAT SO EVER!

I WAS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES IN MY YOUNG LIFE THAT HAD A VERY BAD IMPACT ON MY MIND....

BUT AN EXCUSE IS LIKE AN A**HOLE EVERYBODY HAS ONE!

SO I'M NOT GOING 2 ACT LIKE I COULDN'T HAVE SAT ALL OF THE UN-NECESSARY ASIDE N DID WHAT WAS IMPORTANT 4 ME...BUT ONLY IF YOU KNEW WHAT IT WAS THAT WAS GOING ON, YOU'D GIVE ME A GREAT BIG PAT ON THE BACK AND UNDERSTAND EVERY BIT OF IT!

ANYWHO, SECOND QUARTER IS LIKE A WHOLE NEW INCEPTION FOR MYSELF! IT'S CREDIT MARKING PERIOD AND I'M READY 2 GIVE MY REPORT CARD THE CREDITABILITY THAT I KNOW IT JUSTIFIES .

I DON'T WANT TO KEEP ENUNCIATING IT I JUST WANT 2 SUBSTANTIATE IT AND MOVE ON TO 3RD QUARTER!

SOMETHING NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME....

SOMETHING NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME IS THAT I CAN SING!

NOT

any kind of singing you might think about!

I CAN REALLY SING!

LOL! BUT TRUTHFULLY YOU HAVE SO MANY SO-CALLED SINGERS IN THIS WORLD TODAY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE QUICK TO CHALLENGE YOUR STRENGTHS AND DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO OR WHAT THEY ARE FACING! BUT AS LONG AS THE RIGHT PEOPLE CHALLENGE YOU IT'S NOTHING.

WHAT IS THE WORST THING A PARENT CAN DO TO THEIR CHILD?

• THE WORST THING A PARENT CAN DO TO THEIR CHILD IS ABANDON THEM! POINT.BLANK.PERIOD! I THINK THIS BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK OF ALL THINGS THAT CAN POSSIBLY BE DONE AND BE CONSIDERED THE WORST THING, THEY ALL NARROW DOWN TO ABANDONMENT! SOME PARENTS JUST DON'T LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT THOUGH PRIMARILY BECAUSE THEIR SELFISH! WHEN YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR SEED AT ANY AGE OR STAGE IT WILL HAVE A DEEP IMPACT ON THE CHILD WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT! IN THE LONG RUN IT COULD AFFECT THEM MENTALLY AS WELL AS PHYSICALLY KNOWING THEY DIDN'T HAVE A MOTHER TO LOVE,CONSOLE,TEACH,YELL AT, LAUGH WITH, PLAY WITH, OR GUIDE THEM . IT'S WORSIER WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A FATHER TO DO THE SAME BUT IN A MASCULINE WAY. I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS ALL MY LIFE SO I KNOW IT'S NOT A GOOD FEELING AT ALL! IT REALLY IS THE WORST THING A PARENT CAN DO TO THEIR CHILD BELIEVE IT OR NOT! BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU AS A PERSON CAN TURN IT INTO THE GREATEST THING IF YOU CAN OVERCOME AND DEFEAT ALL OF THE EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE IT COULD LEAVE YOU WITH OVER TIME.

WHAT IRRITATES ME THE MOST!!

A PET PEEVE OF MINE ARE LIARS! FOR AS LONG AS I COULD REMEMBER I HAVE HAD A HATEFUL PASSION TOWARDS LIARS. NOT SAYING HATING SOMETHING IS A GOOD THING BUT I THINK YOU KIND OF GET MY DRIFT. IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF THE PEOPLE I GREW UP AROUND OR HAVE HAD GREAT RELATIONS WITH ARE STARTING TO DISAPPEAR BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THEIR WORD ANYMORE! SO I JUST FIND WAYS TO MAKE THEM WANT TO GET AWAY FROM ME OR I'LL FIND A WAY TO GET AWAY FROM THEM. THE WORST PART ABOUT THE LIARS IN MY LIFE IS THEY ALL KNOW I'M FAR FROM STUPID SO WHY LIE! I'LL EVENTUALLY PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH IF I DON'T FIGURE IT OUT AS SOON AS THEY TRY TO SLIP IT PASS ME!
