Prom isn't very important, i'm just in it for the experience and the glam. Prom isn't important because, it doesn't benefit you by going. This year I went to prom. I had a peach dress, my mom did my make up, and she also did my hair.

The experience was great because it was first time going. Everyone complemented me and told me I was pretty. They had food, desert, and drinks there. Everyone danced and I had fun with everybody. Either I was eating or I was with my friends most of the time. Some group of kids were doing things that I personally don't do. 
 
Overall i'm glad that I went to prom. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun. I recommend that you go to prom because it's very exciting. I just wanted to share with you all my experience at prom. If you scroll you would see a picture of me at prom. XOXO
😘

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I'm WAY more extra than my girl @ma'kyia If ya'll didn't know. Okay so this isn't gonna (Did ya'll know they added gonna to the dictionary?) be a formal essay or anything. Y'all gone feel 110% A'keirah Z. M. W. So how are you beautiful people feeling today? Leave a description in the box on the main/home page. I just want to wish everybody a Happy Easter even if your day hasn't been going well. I hope this entry makes all y'all smile💕. XOXO

Psst...today's entry is about the "G" word. Haven't you heard about it? You may know that some people have different sexualities. So, people use words to describe them like: Homo, dyke, lesbian, etc. The most common word used at my school is "Gay". According to dictionary.com, "Gay" has more than one meaning. As an adjective, it can be used to describe a state of happiness like being cheerful or glad.  However most kids use this term for its opposite effect, that is to describe someone or an action in an offensive way.

When people hear the word "Gay" they instantly think of it gender wise. This is because it's commonly used like that around school and most neighborhoods here in Clarksdale. Kids here grew up calling one another "Gay" over something foolish like another boys simply poking each other. This is truly sad. Young children shouldn't even know the word better yet say it.

Everytime you hear someone call someone “Gay” Make sure you do something about it.  You don’t have to be violent or anything, just speak up. This word is killing our society by making people hate and fear what is different or what makes them uncomfortable. Not just children but grown-ups too, maybe even elders. It's not okay to use this word to describe people, just because they are different from you. ​ STAND UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT! XOXO

When is it appropriate to date? The age that people (mostly girls) are allowed to date is age 16.  I wonder why everyone thinks the age 16 is the most reasonable age to start dating. People's opinion of dating will always stay the same. Why not 18 years old,  when you're legally grown? This still puzzles me. 

I believe my generation has the worst dating problem. Kids who are my age now (12) started dating each other in fourth grade! What do you really even know about relationships in the fourth grade? I think that is too early and too young to enter a relationship with somebody. My mom also agrees with me and so does my English teacher. The deliberate act of dating before you're a teenager is wrong because you don't really know what you are doing, and it can get really complicated when emotions are involved. Although, I am asking why sixteen is the age that a lot of individuals are dating, but I also realize that it's better to date at the age 16 rather than in the fourth grade.

Healthy relationships are important. That's why dating in the fourth grade is wrong. Kids' minds aren't fully matured. Therefore it's not okay for parents to let their children date before they're a teenager. What i'm saying is that you have to know how to love before you try having a relationship with someone. Young children don't know what a healthy relationships are at their age. So I advise all you younger intelligent soon to be amazing women should wait to date.

​Faithfulness is another characteristic of a healthy relationship. If your relationship with someone doesn't include faithfulness it's not considered a good relationship. XOXO 

At the age of 18 most children believe that they are "grown." However, I was taught that when you can pay your own bills and ultimately, be able to provide for yourself, you are considered to be G-R-O-W-N.

I often also hear the saying, "age is nothing but a number." This saying puzzles me because age is not just based on how old you are, in fact it reflects your maturity level. 
 
​When you're 18 people have high expectations for you. Hopefully when I'm 18 I'm still be the same joyful, loving, smart A'keirah that everyone knows me as now. There were few things that would be different about me. For instance, I'd be taller (LOL) and an expert on many things. My name would be familiar to a multitude of people for dance, contortion, and acting. 

But, before anything I'd have to get a job to get on my feet first. I could either work at a restaurant or a store, while I work on to pursue my dream careers.

When I'm 18 I want to be ​successful. Not only will people have high expectations for me when I'm 18 but I will also have high expectations for myself. Such as, taking responsibility for my actions and to not drink or do drugs. The age 18 for me is irrelevant to the age I am now. The problem with that is that I like the age I am now. My father and my aunt always told me to stay a kid forever. When you weigh all this together, if I could stay 12 forever or even age backwards until I'm four I would. When I'm older I would love to be more mature and responsible than now. XOXO

Growing up as a young girl In Clarksdale, MS I was always taught to always think before I make a decision. For Instance, in the year of 2016-2017 a tragedy happened to one of my younger cousins and my mom was concerned about it. My mother told me to tell her if something atrocious like that would to ever happen to me,  to always alert her before doing anything. My mom told me to always care for myself. Her and my father always wanted my younger sister and me to have it better than they did. This was so astonishing to me, through my young eyes to experience someone wanting me to do better for myself rather themselves.

Growing up, I didn't get everything I wanted, but I got everything that I needed. My grandmother, Margret taught me that life isn't about getting everything that you want, it's about working hard and building up maturity and good character to reach heaven. She told me that life wasn't a journey or a destination, but both  combined. I grew up believing in Santa and the Tooth Fairy, and now that i'm older and I know the truth I feel bad. I see it as a big man with a white beard and with reindeers  and a little person with wings and a wand  getting all the credit for your parents doing. If I ever had kids I don't think I would tell them about Santa or the Tooth  Fairy, it's not right.

I was raised with four different girls we all had different passions and we all liked different things. Jadia the oldest liked cheer, I liked to do contortion , Jameria liked to sing , Ari liked to dance, and jordan liked to flip.  We all were family , like you and me, we accepted each other and all of our differences. To end this entry growing up in Clarksdale isn't easy but isn't hard. XOXO
