This is so true. I decided to go natural when I was 13 yrs old.Being so young a natural,I get all kinds of stereotypes from my peers.I get called things like treehugger,hippie,revoluntionary,and to most of them just plain weird.To qoute one of my acquintaces I am a "peace-to-all-make-love-not-war-rainbow-colorful-good-kinda-weird." One boy saw small fro and asked if I am Afeni Shakur( he was really trying to pick on the fact that he thinks I look like a black panther)to which I replied "No but my grandma knows her."(Which is true.Afeni Shakur comes from our small southner town and is well-known in our community for all her charity work) I get things like this all the time but it doesn't bother me that much.While then I may have been alittle insecure about my afro,I know who I am.It just so happens I love poetry,jill scott's golden will forever be in my rotation,I would love to recyle but my town got rid of their recyle center(I currently trying to figure out a way to get it out,I love singing I am not my hair at the top of my lungs.One of the most imporant thing being natural has taught me and is continueing to teach me is that I should not be ashamed of who I am.

Why must it rain?
WheN heavy loads have already descende upon our shoulders
Why do our tears flow like rivers
when we have already shed an ocean
Apart of me says to make me stronger
It rains
so I can appreciate the sun
and a part of me wonders if that sun will ever come
Faith
Hard to keep when it been dark for so long
But what other choice do I have
So LORD I'll follow you
even if I don't know
where this path takes me
I'll keep my mouth shut
even when my curiosity
gets the best of me
What other choice do I have
but to have
Faith

Highschool

Highschool sure is an adventure.The first week was insane.The kids wre so tall and rude,they bump you and push past you without saying excuse me.I tried my best not to look like the confused freshman I was .Luckily for me I have a junior for a sister she keep me from looking like a deer caught in headlights.I like going to the same school as my sister.The last time we were at school was in elemantary school.We also have the same lunch.She eats lunch with me and my friends.I don't mind being with my sister all the time she is my best friend even when she gets on my nerves.The only downfall of going to school with my sister is people are always calling me Amoni's little sister,Teachers calling me Amoni and not even noicing what they did,and kids that go to school with us think that we are twins.(I mean come on you have know me for two years don't you think me and my twin would be in the same grade)If you guys know poetic satin doll blog, then you know my sister.She is smart, writes deep poetry,a hard wrking student,and nice.I always felt that I would always be in her shadow,but I finally think I am coming into my own.Its only the first semester and alreedy,I have got a part in a play that I wanted,I have meet some funny cool new people to hangout with,came up with some great ideas for the AAU(African American Uplift)club,I have got a nickname(Rainow),a reglar at th highschool library , brainstorming bridge designs with science olympiads,made a person I didn't even know smile,and got STRAIGHT As on my report card. Oh and last but not least to the older kids I am know Alexcia,the little sister of Amoni.Thats progress people!

Just to make you laugh

Adventure

I'm in need of an adventure. I don't know why I feeling very adventuous but have mothing to do.I don't even Know what it entitles. Shall we check webster? Yes we shall? Alright out of all the definitions this one is my favorite.
Adventure:an exciting and dangerous undertaking
I might have had one but I want one a story to tell my grandkids.Of course I could exaggerate like manygrandparents but I'm a terrible liar.I think I have my anwser. People to People ,a program that allows kids to travel and get high school and college credit, sent me and my sis a letter in the mail.It going to Italy,Sicily,and Greece. They taking us to the Sistine Chapel.Man,I can already see myself there.My head back looki at the ceiling get lost in Michelangelo's masterpiece.If I want togo I have to come with alot of that green stuff I don't have.So I'm trying get a job working at my mom's friend beauty shop,sweeping, but that might not work out.We'are in a recession people every little bit counts.
So I guess high school will have to be my adventure.My opnhouse is tomorrow.
I can't wait.
