I took some advice from a mentor. What was that advice? The advice was to invest in ones self to succeed. No one will ever just give you the tools to succeed. You have to work hard and go get it. If there’s not a doorway, you’ll have to build the door.

I took the advice to purchase a much needed laptop. It’s the first laptop I’ve every bought on my own and that in itself is empowering for me. My father ( God bless him) purchased my first laptop to get me through college. And that’s what that laptop did, it got me through college and slowly went onto its death bed but God always makes a way when I’m down and out. Although I’ll have to pay for my laptop on my own, I’m sure I will appreciate it more because I’ll have to truly work for it.

Actress Tika Sumpter inspired me to work hard when I heard her story of working 3 or more jobs just to get by. Then her blessing came out of hardship, she landed her first acting gig and now she’s the leading actress of The Haves & Haves Nots. You can’t tell me God can’t do the impossible because God makes the impossible possible everyday.

By investing in myself, I’ll enhance my productivity by 50% or more. I’m not very familiar with this kind of laptop but I’m excited to learn and create memories with my laptop.
