Entry #1: A Young Girl's Life in Clarksdale

As a young girl growing up in Clarksdale, I have always been taught to "Seize Your Moment". Life for girls has always been about seizing your moments. I believe that Seizing Your Moment is all about showing people the real you, and grabbing an opportunity . Seizing Your Moment will show everyone that you are yourself and you want to shine the way you would like to by showing them you can grab your moment. In Life, Seizing Your Moment will let you take an opportunity that will let you be yourself. For instance, I told my mom I am in a program where I can speak my mind. My mom told me to "Seize Your Moment" and when I heard those words I started to feel better.

Growing up in my town, I have also been taught to learn from my mistakes. When I was at my grandma's house, I accidentally cursed ( how does one accidentally curse someone out?) my sister out. Before I knew it, I was in my sister's room getting a whooping. When my mom was done, my grandma called me into her room. After my grandma called me into her room, she gave me a (think of an adjective that describes this talk) talk. At the end of my grandma's talk, she told me to "Learn From My Mistakes." After my grandmother said those words to me, I never cursed at any of my family members or at anyone else. Learning from my mistakes, help me to be a better person.

When I think back on these quotes, I realized my mother and grandmother wanted the best from me and nothing but the best. When I went back to read over my short paragraphs, I noticed everything they told me in these quotes were to better me and to be make me more successful in life. My grandmother and mother are making me more successful by telling me the rights and the wrongs in life. These quotes "Seize your Moments" and "Learn from your Mistakes" will better people in life.
