The Unstoppable Impossible

slowprogressisprogress💯  #slowandsteadywinstherace  #ɢʀᴏᴡᴛʜᴍɪɴᴅsᴇᴛ💯✨ #halstonvictoriaquinn❤️  #selflove❤️ When I was in school trudging through every new day and assignment, I always had to tell myself , maybe I didn't get to where I wanted to be in the time frame I expected , but it's because of my determination and resilience that I did make it. Like Miley Cyrus said , life's a climb , but the view is great.  It's always hard when you really want something and it's taking a while to receove your prize.  But when you want it bad enough, the sweat , the tears , the fear , the drive , and lessons , are all worth it in the end . It doesn't matter how long it takes . If you get to the tip of the mountain and you're proud of yourself, that's all that matters! 💯❤️🙏👊#Selflove

Sitting here with someone I love and making memories. Going on dates, eating food, going to the spots from our childhood dreams, and watching movies that make us smile. These are the moments we live for. Changing the lives of children daily. Never wondering "Hey, did I make someone smile lately"?  Being a role model, hero, and life changer, these are the moments we live for. Thinking about the beginning of my life and how  I gained hydrocephalus and needed to have brain surgery which caused me to have headaches, memory loss, and dizziness. Due to these circumstances, I was premature. However, when I am laughing with family and good friends reminiscing about the good times that made us, I think about how blessed I am to be alive and all of the gifts god has granted me.   Living life and taking names, these are the moments we live for.      Having family time, going to the movies with friends, and going for walks on a breezy day, are the moments we live ...

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...

HAS YOUR PAST MADE YOU STRONG?    Yes. My past has  made me who I am today by allowing me to make wrong turns also by helping me with anxiety bursts that were not needed. At times I tend to be an OVERTHINKER. I  care too much. I  believe the main reason for this is , because I have a love of learning and   that there are horizons to be broadened everywhere.   Did it take some time and does it take time to this day   for me to learn material than other? Yes. Although, my resilience and determination got me to this point and is how I will stay here.  G💜 GAINS R💙 RESILIENCE O 💛 OPTIMISM W 💚 WORTH T  💖    TENACITY H  💗  HUMBELNESS SELF-LOVE Self-love is so very important. Feed yourself the same energy that you give to others. We should all practice this DAILY. In my life, I have faced many challenges. Although, none of them have ever made me want to quit trying. I would not be who I am or wh...

MESSAGE TO YOUNG TEENS AND ADULTS WITH LEARNING AND LEARNING-RELATED DIFFERENCES... 💜💜💜 Dear children, teens, and adults like me in 2023 (Most Unique Human Beings) of 2023, you are strong. You are worthy of love and capable of going wherever you want in life. They say "Always turn the other cheek when others doubt your abilities." There's a set amount of times you can do that until you decide internally that standing up for yourself, is the best option. It is okay, and you have every right to say "No do not treat my friends this way."  Especially, when it's your gut telling you something is wrong. We are worth so much more than average. We're all equal in our ways We are Different, NOT less than the rest. All we want is to be included and accepted. As someone with learning-related disabilities, I've learned a few things about the world. For example, not everyone will understand you, and that's okay. Some things aren't worth explaining. As ...

It's good to sit down and reflect. Reflect on what has alre...

.  Has anyone ever given you a piece of advice that you will always continue to carry with you no matter what? My high school math teacher would say to me frequently,  " Life's too short too stress" .  As well as my English teacher would say  "You can't motivate someone who doesn't want to be motivated".  In case you're wondering, what have these two pieces of advice helped me with? Well when I was in high school and even to this day, due to my love of learning and the fact that I care way too much in certain aspects about others, I have a tendency to overthink and over feel. My personal strategies include: taking deep breaths, writing, feeding myself positive energy, or thinking of the people who have encouraged me and helped me get to where I am now.  "You can't motivate someone who doesn't want to be Motivated " Personally, when I was in high school I approached my former English Teacher for advice on what he thought I should hel...

How important is it to find a strategy that suits you when you're under stress? I'd say it's essential. LIFE'S TOO SHORT TOO STRESS When someone is under stress  but all they do is take all of they're anger, sadness, and tension out on you, all that will do is build up tension within you. Why  do we choose strategies such as:   slamming doors, yelling at people , and pointing fingers instead of communicating feelings?  It always seems like whenever we don't feel well , we're depressed , or we're frustrated , we'll say anything! In the moment, some just don't seem to care. Later, they will regret their words and actions. We all need to do better at thinking before we speak. But also , considering others feelings.  For example, if someone is sick the way they're feeling is the only thing they're focused on so if they lash out at you, try not to take it personally. They're in a funk. Take DEEP BREADTHS  so that you do not sa...

 * JUMBLED COMMUNICATION      IN A NUTSHELL COMMUNICATION We as individuals need to find strategies that help us communicate better, faster, and easier. One that works best for ourselves. For example. writing, singing, and sitting one-on-one when there's more time.  At times while I'm trying to converse with the ones I know and love, they'll lose their patience with me due to my responses taking a little bit longer to be given instead of waiting to hear and understand what I have to say.  Being interrupted in all honesty makes my communication more jumbled because I'll forget what I'm trying to say. It's always been a little difficult for me to relay messages to there's through words.  COMMUNICATION entails,  you tell the whole story without hesitation.  ANXIETY Have you or someone you know ever felt like your words can often get jumbled when spoken, and then misinterpreted by so many others?If so, you're not alone. To be honest, It's always ...

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 ...

 Life is all about learning, living in the moment, and making a difference within each and every day. Positivity is all it takes. I'll tell you from my own experiences that encouraging others, helps me stay positive. Sometimes I teach myself things I forget in the moment due to frustration and self-doubt. If there is one thing I know, it's that devotion and perseverance are key to mastering anything.   I've had 24 brain surgeries and two strokes. Later, developed some learning disabilities.  Yes, I have memory issues, and getting my point across can  be frustrating! The one major thing I am and will always be grateful for though,  is that I'm alive.  I beat the ODDS that we're thrown at me. My past made me stronger because I had to undergo so much , so young. The experiences I had , changed/shaped me into who I am. We need to acknowledge and reflect on our victories. Both big , and small.    Ask yourselves: *Has your past made you ...

                                              PERSONAL GROWTH REFLECTION ! Anxiety Overthinking Perseverance Frustration due to stress overload Do you ever feel Anxious ? Do you ever Overthink because you care too much? Do you Persevere every day, but sometimes it seems like due to frustration and sudden stress overload and  due to caring too much,  you lose control? Reflect on your days, you'll be amazed by the progress you make. Each day of your life, wake up and strive to be the best version of who you were always meant to be. Whenever I've felt like an unwelcome ghost or a fool who lacked potential, I took/take deep breaths and I constantly remind myself that anything is possible. I am stronger than I think and braver than I believe. After 24 brain surgeries and two strokes later, I am a fighter who has the right to tell anyone who doubts me, that one da...

In life sometimes we all face challenges that are overwhelming . Although, you've just got to live each moment with pride, take each chance and live without regrets. Make your life extraordinary and take every opportunity that reaches out to you because one day you will never know if that chance will ever come again. Make a difference and make the best of every little thing. Seize the day. Anything is possible. We are the next generation of heroes who are going to change the world. WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY? * HELPING OTHER PEOPLE *INSPIRING OTHERS *MUSIC *LOVE *MY FAMILY *What makes you feel happy? REFLECTION Ask yourself what does it means to be  DIFFERENT ? How  IMPORTANT  is it to NOT care what others think? Why is being an  INDIVIDUAL  a good thing? When you persevere and when others notice the power  in your smile, other individuals will want to be like you, too. They will become motivated by your actions and your decisions. Life can be hard and no one is g...

      💗💗💗💗💗      In the first 24 years of my life, I have been through a lot but I have never allowed those challenges to be an excuse to make me want to quit. Whenever I feel like the force is too strong and I am unsure what to do, I try to see beyond my struggles and believe that I can do anything I set my mind to do just like every living soul should. I've experienced anxiety from academics, trying too hard to make things perfect, and confusion from the subjects that are not my best but my worst. As well as from a variety of situations which I will explain consistently throughout this narrative. I have also gone through rough and painful times, but I'm still standing tall and that's good enough for me. Two facts about me are that I am a go-getter and a hard worker. If I am unsuccessful the first time with an activity, I will keep trying repeatedly until I get it right! An example of a situation from my life that has caused me anxiety, confusion...

FEELING  MISUNDERSTOOD Have you ever experienced those moments in your life where you're trying your hardest to explain a topic that matters a lot to you to a person who means a lot to you, though at times you feel they just do not have the patience to listen? Yes? Welcome to my world. Have you made a statement and before verifying what you meant, someone will assume it's what you meant and say you're wrong? Yeah, me too. In the life of a warrior, if you're anything like me, sometimes you have trouble getting your words out. You also have trouble understanding someone else's question/statement. When this happens to me, I ask for clarification. Doesn't that mean that the rest of the world should do that with us warriors instead of assuming what we mean? I'm sorry, but I was always taught that ASSUME just makes an ASS out of U and ME.   LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT MAKES PEPIN REALLY SPECIAL When I look around, I notice various differences. Wow, what an awe...

 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 ...

What Struggles have given me incredible strength?           It's day 10 of month 5 of the year 2023.       I was born May the 1st of year 99. I had some medical issues that evolved, which then terrified everyone for my life. I had too much fluid trapped in my brain. Which then caused a stroke within me. Not too long after, I had another stroke. All together to fix my problems, I had to have brain surgeries. In total, I've had 24. Due to having all of this occur in my life, I did miss a lot of school. It was hard, but I overcame it just like I conquered everything else. Due to the strokes and I have a few fine-motor difficulties and drop foot. This means: my foot will turn out when I walk. I am a fighter. I never give up. From me to you, just because something is hard in the current moment/ seems complicated, does not mean it is impossible to  achieve. If a challenge in your life is consistently repeated,  that usually means that God...

I want to emphasize that a single problem can never be too big. There's always a solution. Even though we as humans tend to have mounds of moments, we'll believe there's no hope.  I overthink a lot. I'll work too hard.  When I do so, there are times when I stress myself out. I came to the realization that I only will do this because I truly care and I'm striving for something greater than what I was given. As individuals, we're going to face challenges both big and small, but we cannot allow those hurdles challenges/times of triumph, to work us so much, that we  forget to slow down and smell the roses.   "When push comes to shove, you'll see what you're made of".   -  Rascal Flatts When you happen to be someone who loves so wholeheartedly have you ever felt as if you were running a constant race? Fighting your own battles on top of someone else's too? Yeah, me too. If anybody has ever assumed you cannot be their superhero, they're wrong...

M * Motivation O * OPTIMISM V * VOICE OF OPINION    E *  Empowerment As a former student with learning-related disabilities, I've learned a few things about the world. For example, not everyone will understand you or your situation.  That's okay. Some things aren't worth explaining. As long as you "Yourself" know the truth within your heart.  It's not worth obsessing about whether or not anybody else understands your logic or reasoning.  Anything can be accomplished with MOTIVATION and strong DETERMINATION. As well as, by practicing patience. Stay Motivated, and make sure you communicate if you have questions Be Optimistic Voice your opinion. No matter the cost. Say how you feel. BE YOURSELF... Always try to Empower others to do the same.   M.O.V.E.  Mountains                       * BE CALM *HAVE COURAGE *BE CONFIDENT *HAVE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS *MAKE CONNECTIONS LET THE 5 Cs GUIDE ...
