Hi, my name is Lylah Youngblood, and welcome to my blog! I've never had a blog before, so i'm really new to this, but i'm excited to see what kinds of stuff I can do with this blog. So to start off my first ever blog, I'm going to tell you a bit about myself. So I am 16 years old and I have lived in Southaven, MS for about ten years now. I am a sophomore at Southaven High School. My hobbies include listening to music, twitter, eating(a lot), and trying to get out of the house as much as I can. I use to play soccer when I was in eighth grade, but I stopped playing because I wasn't that much interested in it anymore. A question I get asked a lot is "what are you?" and by that they mean race. When they guess they usually get it wrong and what they say usually doesn't make sense. So I am Caucasian, Laotian, and Polynesian(Hawaiian). Some abilities I have is being able to pick up objects with my foot and having a double-jointed thumb. (I normally don't pick up things with my foot btw). Some of my accomplishments would be getting over a fear I have or making a good grade on a test or something. I'm not really one of those students who gets straight A's on their report card or an honored student or receives awards. But, I have set goals that encourages me to make good grades and to not be a slacker.
What I have learned in the book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, is a lot about setting goals and what I would want to achieve in the future. I have also learned that if i set my mind to it, I can achieve it. I really want to go to college but not having any of my family members go to college, i felt that I wouldn't make it to college. But, I would be the first to go to college and that just encourages me to achieve that goal even more. What I would want to learn more in Family Dynamics, would be about goal setting and ways to accomplish them. My paradigm that I have is telling myself that what I do isn't good enough or what I say or do isn't right. Not being good enough. So I am always afraid of messing something up and it keeps me from doing what I want to do. But, what I have learned to help me through it is to never doubt yourself. I will never know until I try. What I have added to my PBA is to be more proactive. Don't let things telling me I can't do it bring me down. What I have subtracted from my PBA is being doubtful and to stop worrying about not being good enough. I've also subtracted stressing over the littlest things. I know that I can do it if i set my mind to it. Thank you for coming across by blog!
