Going to school in the Life of a Warrior

By Halston Victoria Quinn -

 I'm back! Still here thriving 💓 Do you want to want to know a secret? 

I never stop being on the    M.O.V.E 😉                     

  What was school like for me?

   * I would get HEADACHES constantly. 

  * At times, I would be ACADEMICALLY failing   but due to my hard work, determination, and amazing teachers, I am where I am meant to be

     *4th-12th grade at PEPIN ACADEMIES

After having 23 brain surgeries and 2 strokes all before I was 6, and a 24th surgery as an addition in 2021I'd say for myself not only are me and GOD a team, but I am UNSTOPPABLE!

School was difficult because I would get frequent headaches. Due to all of my surgeries, I did not think as quickly. At times I'd feel extremely frustrated because I didn't work as fast as the others. I was blessed to have the absolute best teachers in the world and to be fortunate enough to have gone to the school that I had. My teachers understood me and never gave up on me. Due to my determination and frustration, I often stayed up late to work on my homework regardless of how I felt. Whenever it came to reading,  I would be so pissed when I'd get a C in the class.  I worked my butt off to get any grade that was not the average letter. According to both my mom and one of my former teachers, "It's the C students who rule the world". Now, one day due to all of my hard work and determination, I did end up with an A.  My Struggles have made me stronger. They've made me want to be a motivator in life. Today, the letter grades don't even matter. The lessons from the ones that will always matter, will always stick with me. I know this because these individuals talk to this warrior in her head daily. Dear teachers of the world, never ever doubt yourselves. It's because of you, that people like me, believe in myself more and more.

       What life lessons have my academic challenges taught me?           

#LIFE'S TOO SHORT TOO STRESS

 # SET GOALS

#ASK FOR HELP

 If you've discovered the side effects of your disability and how they affect you, if you know that you and you alone can create strategies to help yourself, don't hesitate! 

Take me for instance, I am a literal walking Dory from Finding Nemo 😂🐠 My memory at times can really suck or it can truly surprise me at random times and places, I will remember the information I wish I had remembered 3 hours ago, but didn't. Learn what things you need to work on, that way, improvements can be made.  

Life is about learning, living in the moment, and making a     difference each and every day. Both for yourself and others.    I'll tell you from experience that it makes me feel better when I  encourage somebody else each and every day.

Know your Limitations

By Halston Victoria Quinn -

Are you a relentless individual who doesn't stop no matter how they're feeling? Regardless if you're tired, anxious, frustrated, etc? Emphasis on tired. If you are, I want to talk about recognizing/knowing your own limitations. Not only what you can handle, but recognizing what it is you'll tolerate from others as well.  Have you ever had a lot of your mind and organizing those thoughts felt like an absolute rollercoaster ride?  School? Friends? Work? YOU Can: *Set a schedule  * Take Breaks  *DO NOT TAKE ON MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE ALL AT ONCE Are you an empathetic individual who tends to take on more weight than they should? Do you tend to feel that there are times when you'll care more about how others feel and then leave yourself on the sidelines? *Recognize your limits You can be someone's friend and be there to hold their hand,  but if you know someone who only reaches out to you when they need something and then never responds when you need them, it's

How can you TRANSFORM your Mindset?

By Halston Victoria Quinn -

Good Evening and Happy #TransformationTuesday  Life is an unpredictable ride. We won't always be aware of what's going to happen next, and that's okay! The itinerary is all in God's plan. Transform your thoughts from an overthinking view to going with the flow. Yes. Stress can appear in many different ways. Finance , job loss, not understanding something new. When push comes to shove, we see what we're made of!  Take deep breaths and tell yourself , I can do this! Not only have I done it before , but with God , all things are possible! Personally , when I have been put in a situation Ive never been in before  and I feel a sense of confusion or anxiety, I set personal goals for myself surrounding the topic. For example, how to organize your schedule to fit in all of your priorities. In this case I set a schedule for myself so that I wouldn't feel like I didn't have enough time.  What are you going to do today to transform your mindset from Can'

It's good to sit down and reflect. Reflect on what has already happened. Discuss what you're grateful for daily with the ones who mean the most to you.  Input positivity .  Embrace all of the go
