This is the Plan

What is the cause of your motivation to become successful? For many it's money, and for others, it's just wanting to finally move out that hood you go back to during the break where you see the same thing, nothing. I can't lie, that's partially my motivation too. But to be honest, my main motivation are my parents. That's right. My Father is a part of that. My Mother is the major reason though.

You see, my mother has been working hard so that I can become something all her life. She came from the beautiful island of Jamaica and is very beautiful herself. She came with my father who was supposed to help her out, but once her got off the boat, his main concern where the women and not helping to build my mother by working together. My mom went to high school but never finished. She left when she was 16 years old and has been working ever since. With no high school degree, and no college degree, my mother learned people and how things work. I guess that's where I get it from. While my Dad was off and about, my mother worked two jobs, sometimes three. She'd be gone from 6 in the morning to 8 or 9 in the p.m. When you're a little girl, that's a long time away from mommy. She'd be gone weekends working, even weeks working, all so that she could support me.

To this day she still works just as hard, putting me through college. She complains, all the time, but she'll never regret it because she knows that I intend on making it up to her one day. Now, my Father on the other hand motivates me to make him feel like **** when I make it. His absence motivates me to prove to him that, hey, this is your daughter that you left, and look at what she made of herself without your help. And that's exactly what I am going to do. I'm just going to prove to the world that me, the problem child, the bad girl gone good, can start off with nothing and end it with something great. Plus that man still owes me a trampoline so I will be making trips.

To end this with something simple, money is not my motivation, a better outcome for my life is.
