Jimmy Heath

Jimmy Heath, a legend and a muscial geniuis. A man filled with so much history and had seen so many historical events with his own eyes. Mr. Heath was a man with a musical gift! As he sat in front of us and talked I just felt honored to be in his presence. He was such a nice guy and a humble man. The stories he told us were just so amazing to hear. He told us about how He met Duke Ellington and a lot of other jazz legends. Mr. Heath also told us that his journey in life was not easy, but that did not stop him from accomplishing his dream.

Jay Bogust

"Never judge a book by its cover" is how the old saying goes, and it is so true. We were all sitting in class when Mr. Chambers told this guy to come in and speak to us. When this guy walked in he suprised the class with his attire because of how he was dressed. He was wearing shorts and a T-shirt like he had just came from the gym; the whole class was looking at him dazed to see what he was goin to talk to us about. Mr. Bogust began to talk and all the students faces in the class began to change from dazed to amazed. He told us that he graduated from North Carolina Central University in the 90's, and he used to work on the Campus Echo. Today, Mr. Bogust works for USA Today as a Sports Editor, gets to travel for free, and loves his job. Wow! I had to say I was truley impressed. It was obivious to see that Mr. Bogust was definitely living his dream.

Phyillis Cooley

Phyillis Cooley stopped in on our class to talk to us about what she did for a living and about accomplishing your dreams. One could tell that Mrs. Cooley was a focused woman and about buisness, which helped you understand why she was so successful. Mrs. Cooley was the Editor and Publisher for SpectactularMagazine, Event Planner for Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade, and the Juneteenth Chairman. Wow, talk about being busy but Mrs. Cooley does very well with time management and stressed to us the importance of being on time. Mrs. Cooley let us know hard works pays off because even though she is very busy, she works for herself.

Autobiography

Writing my Autobiography was alot easier than writing my Obitituary if you know what I mean. As I wrote my Autobiography it brought back alot of memories some good and some bad. It made me think about my life and all the things that I had been through and where I am now. It was funny writing my Autobiography because I would have never have imagined that I would be where I am now, it was nobody but God that has brought me this far and I am truely grateful. I pray that there will definitely be some more chapters in this book before the Lord calls me home, and I am just grateful to know that the Lord will continue to have his hand on my life and guide Me down the right path.

Obitituary Assignment

I sat down and begin to write my Obitituary and I thought to myself what was the purpose, once I was finished I understood exactly why Mr. Chambers gave us this assignment. This assignment help me refocus my goals and help speak my dreams into exsistence. After I finished my Obitituary Assignment I looked at what I had wrote and I told myself I was determined to make all these things come true. It was interesting because we had to read our Obitituary in class, and it was very interesting to hear some of my classmates dreams. We have a talented class and a lot people headed in the right direction!
