Have you ever made a decision that you believe could have altered your life path?

 

          I have made various choices in my life. The choices I let enter my life has changed me significantly. I recently started an online business that is run on social media. My small business is a sneaker reseller where I buy, sell, and trade shoes that consist of streetwear and fashion. This business that I enjoy so much has changed my life in different ways. It taught me important skills that I can utilize professionally inside and outside my business in the real world. It taught me how a business works and how society acts. I have seen positive and negative things. That's just the outcome of a business but which has taught me important life lessons. 

I learned that always being nice isn't the key, especially in a business since it allows people to step over you. There is a difference between being positive and letting people take advantage of you. Learning not to let people step on me let me expand my business even more and still left me with positive feedback. I learned that I can't always satisfy everyone. I mainly learned from having a small online business that people will tend to take advantage and without any support around. Once I started my sneaker reselling business and attending college made me feel how it is to grow as an adult with stressful situations on your shoulders, but you can't grow with trials and errors. 

Learning that College wasn’t easy made me wake up quick to a realization that I needed to put in so much effort. Leaving me stressed and confused on what to do but I knew I wanted that degree to pursue something that I will end up finding in the near future. I learned that It’s important to attend college for a backup plan if you're unsure. I was those people who thought college was a waste of time until I came to a realization that I needed to attend to have a backup plan and also just to try it. You won’t know until you try so that what came to mind to apply at NJCU. I definitely feel safe listening to my plan and that nothing will happen out of nowhere without any effort. I came to a point where I just felt like not doing anything but quickly that how I was thinking is totally wrong, I won't become successful just sitting there, I needed to catch up and work hard. 

Working out was and talking to God was my option when things felt out of control. I would do these two things and all the things would wash away. Even playing games, hanging out would make me feel so much better, and safe. Learning all these things made me grow up so fast and helped me learn how it is to become an adult into the real world. I enjoyed everything I learned and am still learning. It’s important to have fun once in a while, we live once so live it to the fullest extent.

The relationship between Tony and Wes is a strong bond. Tony is Wes older brother. Tony and Wes often look out for each other and have each other's back covered. They have went through so much together. I would give my sibling advice based on my mistakes I made in life. I would tell my older sister to be more aware and life will throw obstacles but you must climb them. Don't let anyone take advantage of you and just go with the flow of life. It will be awesome. Playing games, talking to God, talking/hanging out with loved ones, and going to the gy helps me with getaway from things in bad times.
