SheraMe project =)

    To be honest I really didn't know what I was doing with my project. First I was going to write a poem kind of like spoken word. But when I started to write my "poem" it ended up being like a speech instead of a poem. Then when I was practicing my speech I felt like I was preaching. So it's whatever I guess, it is my creativity. In my speech I talked about how I thought I was so prepared for college. I knew I was going to struggle a little bit because at my old high school the teachers babied you. I always did my work and I ALWAYS asked for help since nobody in my class didn't know what was going on. I thought I was ready for stress and zero sleep and crying..nope I definitely wasn't ready.
     I think my stress level is to its peak because I work on the weekends and my job is pretty intense. If I didn't have to work then I think I would be less stressed out. Then on top of that I really don't get the proper sleep that I need, so now I get at least 6-5 hours of sleep. When I first came to Converse I honestly thought I was going to make an A- in my classes. But theory and musicianship really messed me up. I started failing my classes and I knew that I couldn't fail because I have worked so hard to get into Converse. So in class I started asking questions until I completely understood what was going on and I even asked for help. I paid for my education and I am not flushing my money down the toilet.
    Now my grades are pretty descent, my lowest grade is a C+ and I can deal with that..for now. In my presentation I also introduced that I never was Sherami when I was singing. Before Converse, I imitated people because in my ear I sound like a little girl instead of an 18 year old. My private teacher Mrs. Turner told me that I need to be myself and that I need to embrace who I am. Now I understand because no one can ever be me. Being here at Converse helps me realize who I want to become when I Graduate in 2018 or even 10 years from now.
