Blessing in Disguise

As I transitioned into my middle school years I faced a lot of adversity.

My heart was in need of motivation

I was in absence within myself through a lack of goals , challenges, and opportunities.

I was missing ambition.

It was until my 6fh grade year that I found myself faced with a great opportunity.

I accepted the challenge and it sparked genuine personal growth and realization.

I grew rich in maturity

I grew ambition and motivation

I was set onto a path of intellectual growth and understanding

I was goal oriented and it propelled my motivation

Nothing has been more life changing.

It’s been genuine personal progression.

A true blessing in disguise

This poem relates to my stange in life where I transitioned from elementary school to middle school. Within those years I faced a lot of obstacles and made my best life decision. In the beginning of middle school I found myself lacking motivation when it came to doing school work. To be quite honest, it was because I didn’t really view school as important as I would view other aspects of my life like football. When it came to school I didn’t have any goals that I was working towards which led to me lacking ambition when in a classroom setting.

It was until 6th grade when I was faced with a great opportunity to join the USC NAI program. Joining the program has honestly been the best decision I’ ve ever made. I created strong friendships that I get to carry into college. But most importantly, I grew goal oriented , ambitious, and more motivated than ever. I saw a surge in personal and intellectual growth. Mainly because by joining the program I was working towards something. I was working towards reaching USC. For 7 years I was attending Saturday school to better my chances of getting into USC. And it was just by learning how beneficial it is to go to college that motivated me to do my best in school. That phase of my life was crucial as it set the foundation of my intellectual development, growth, and identity.
