Waking up every day in the morning, looking at my calendar, the first thing that catches my attention is the important day that is coming up and can’t wait for that to happen. But coming near the calendar and taking a close look and knowing that I have my finals coming up it makes me feel sick because my math final is the first that I’m going to start with..ewww..i think I’m not good at math. And I’m having trouble studying that subject and all am thinking about is to get over it and hoping at least to get out with a B+ in that class. However you never know it might be A+. So whatever the fear that I have I think it has to go away very soon, last but not least am going to fake that I’m not scared from the coming test until the fear breakdown.lol

         Having a person who I can call a best friend, a special human being who had always been there for me when I needed, through the bad and good times a brilliant kind which is easy to friend but hard to keep; and I am pleased that I have one which I can called a best friend.

          However every minutes and seconds things changes till I realized now we were all been separated into two different worlds. One filled with love; the other filled with struggle. Living far away from each other but still tried so hard to keep in touch.

          Main while, by knowing that lots of things had changed since I’ve been away and it seems like I left her alone in a dry desert. Things had changed because time goes by fast; really fast to a point that makes me have not notice that my best friend is about to be 21 years old.

          However, thinking backwards about the time her and I were still in high school, acting such as wangsters but, now everything seems different. Each of us has been caring themselves as young adults, living a life filled with struggles and pain as a result of working hard toward future success.

          for me, to look at her situations it tear me a part seeing her doing the best she can to survive plus having nobody beside her to help or support her; no place for her own which she can call it a home, working too hard to help her family back at home and having dreams that seems impossible to achieve without having a special person to land her a hand and supports.

         The fact knowing that I am the human who she calls best friend, a person which she trusted with her deepest secrets and I cannot do something to help her makes me think that I am a loser and It’s just heartbreaking to me, which leads my thoughts to say “I wish if I can help”. Well, it does not sound even encouraging enough than a pain in a heart.

          However that’s life it has its ups and downs, so all I can think about now is to wish and pray for things to get better, and that’s why it’s heartbreaking to me, why? Because I think it’s my time for me to give her a hand just like she did when I need her; I mean financially and mentally… and isn’t that what a best friend suppose to do? But it sucks that I know I can’t because I am having a kind of similar situation which I needed to take care of it. I’m sorry I wish if I can help.

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO SASHA…”I WISH IF I CAN HELP”

         Freedom is a word that excites almost everyone, but it can mean different things to different people. Personally, I used to think of freedom as when I turned the age of eighteen years old, so I can live my own life by my own rules instead of my parents. Because I realize that, life seems to be hard when there are so many rules to follow, which leads my mind to thinking that I’m not free. However, I already passed that age and I still don’t see any changes because the rules are the same as long as I live with them. In this case, freedom is dreadful to me and all I wanted were nothing than to escape from it, which was often a negative concepts it is a reaction against something.

            For now, freedom means to choose one’s own course of action. Freedom is something that exists in each person’s minds, the freedom to think something different from what considered freedom to express myself without fear and be different. Meanwhile, I agree that freedom is wonderful, and that we are already free by nature even though our minds tell us that we are not free sometimes. Also we leave a strong desire to be free which comes with responsibilities and determination.

            In conclusions I believe that freedom can be anything; it can mean a good life, it can be for or against, it can be just an illusion not a fact, it can be a free will or determination, and it can play a role as consciousness. But in the end I strongly agree with the quote from the popular songs which says, “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.” so tell me do u agree with this quote or you disagree? if you disagree what do you think the word freedom means to you?

          If I had that much money for sure and I know it’s totally hundreds percent free, I will get a two way ticket to fly to a beautiful places somewhere in Europe, maybe Rome or London but about the city or state it doesn’t matter why? Because Europe is the place I’ve always dreamed and wanted to visit and because of it’s interesting facts or histories that I heard or studies about which it really catches my attention especially the ancient histories and places that really makes me think about how and what happened during that time and how will it BE if I had to go back to that time and just experience how life was back than.

          And if I had extra cash money left I will spend it on shopping, relaxing, taking personal tours, sleeping in a fancy hotel and of course invite a friend to come along with me. But most of all I will make sure I will save some money to give it to my family to enjoy spending it with me. Last but not least, make sure that I will use some of them for a serious smile makeover so I can feel free to smile and enjoy my life with a bright smile that will give me confident in myself and feel strong about my future goals and dreams of being a future president, news host, professional soccer player or a role model to young people. SO TELL ME WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

           I’m thinking, thinking and kept thinking about how hard is life. It could be easy for once and hard for most of the time and the most of all I thought about what could that word means. Well for now, I think Life is a puzzle, except that you don’t know what the picture is supposed to look like, and you don’t even know if you’ve got all the pieces. For myself, I believe life can be described as a story, an adventure, learning, mission, and a relationship. Meanwhile, many people have their own many ways of describing the meaning of life; it depends on their experience or ideas.

            However, to think of life as a story is to think of life in different ways, such as an unfolding plot and development of personality or character. Seeing life as an adventure is living it by taking risks, chances, and enjoying the challenges. Thus, a common image is the view of life as a learning experience for us. A mission is another word to describe a meaning of life. A Mission is a moral, desire to do something or make a change in life or planet. For most people, the meaning of our lives is our network of relations with other people; ideally the meaning of life is love, and I totally agree that what really counts in life is friendship or love. I believe I gain a deeper understanding of  this word (life) by taking philosphy class and research. But hay if you havn’t took philospy yet, you should go for it. It is really FUN…!!

Have you ever had a question came across your mind or should i say a question that sounds like who are you, or who am I? for some people, it might sounds like an easy question but, its hard to find an answer to it and for others they might say, they have no idea. for me to ansewer that question might be hard because i used to believe or should i say still believe that a person can not know themselves better than the people around them. but whatever your situation is, i would like you to take sometime and think about who are you? and you might find so many different ways to answer it but take what’s the best that define you. well let me try to ansewer this unique question

WHO AM I??

i am the future of tomorrow, a first born and a first generation to attend college. classic and wise (i think?), a leader not a follower, a young lady with a heart that filled dreams, hopes and wishes. i am the black african girl who looks shy on outside but not inside. i am the who has dreams and goals try to achive , but will i never know i guess i have to trust my thoughts and feelings. i am the girl whom most people want to pick on when it comes to judging , judging about what? about the way i act, think, talk or look? but do i really care No No not really but i have to admit it may be sometimes. i am the girl who my mother worrired about the most why? i dont know maybe because i associate mostly with guys not girls and they she still have the african way of thinking? i really have no idea i guess i just have to trust my thoughts and feelings and have faith on who i think i am.

at the end,simply im a young lady who her parents named her Beatres why? that’s beacuse i think the B is for the inner  BEAUTY that i got…E is for the EVERLASTING love that i have toward my family,firends and people around me…A is for the AKNOWLEDGMENT of people toward me…T is for the Truth that i say…R is for the REAL  me which most people adore…E is for EVERYTHING that i went throught in life so far and overcame it with success and the S is for the Sucess, dreams and future that im looking forward to experiance in life.

Well, now you read my thoughts and description of who i might think i am! so i challenge you to take time think and write about who do you think you are? in your own way..have fun!!!!!!!!

In order to live a life, a person goes through life experiences that may be filled with ups and downs. My name is Beatres Mondi and wellcome to my blog, I was born and raised in South Sudan. I am the oldest child and the first in my family to attend college. In Sudan I attended a public school that only taught Arabic. At the age of eleven my family and I immigrated to Egypt in 2000 due to the situation of civil war and lack of money. We lived in Egypt for three to four years than my parents started the process of bringing us to the United State to have and live for a better life.

The interesting facts about me are I like to learn and explore my knowledge about different cultures, writing poems, dancing,Traveling, playing soccer and studying history as well as communicating and getting to know different people. Throughout being here in united states, I have experience different events I did not experience back in Africa such as participate in sports and community activities.These activities have shaped me as a person.
