About (request update)

What makes me special, i feel pesonally, my back ground history, far as the way i was raised up, from what i saw so far in life in general, negative and positive. just coming out of the struggle with no father in th household seeing my mother struggle and not really being able to do anything about it at the time. Then at the sametime keeping my head up yet and still, just leaning on with help from the Lord up above, YET AND STILL I RISED, I RISED FROM THE STATISTICS OF BEIN A YOUNG BLACK MALE IN THE URBAN COMMUNITY, WHO IS TO NEVER AMOUNTING TO ANYTHING IN LIFE AND WHO FOREVER WILL REMAIN IN THE STRUGGLING POVERTIES OF LIFE. I am a 18 years old young black male who have a whole lot of extravagant dreams in life, that I want to pursue in life, But I need support and assistants, So that way, I can turn my dreams into reality. Since I've been on this earth, or since i could remember, all the challenges whether good or bad, I try to use them to my advantage and benefit from them, for the long run. i was taught you can"t rush beauty, it takes time. I look at it like planting a tree or soring a seed into something, If u take your time in the right season you will get the perfect results you've been looking for, But if you rush it there's an 50% chance you might get want you were expecting to get. Now you tell me, is that 100% worth risking for that 50. Basically everything I go through I always look at it on the bright side and try to Learn from all my mistakes.

I'm the last child of my mother children of her three boys, one 35yrs, one 21yrs and then me, my mother is 54yrs. She started college at Morris Brown then later became pregant and could not finsh, she moved back to Tampa, FL and later never finished, Now she's working a nine to five and now its just me and her, I work when I can and she works a 9-5 with maybe two days off out the week. She's employed at (REPUBLIC PARKING) A parking company not to far from the apartments we live in, because we don't have a car, so sometimes we walk or catch the bus. From my point of view life is hard, but now i have a understanding, no one never said life was going to be easy. Its what you do as an individual to make your life WORTH LIVING. There is nothing much i can say about my father... I'm the last of five children on his side, one girl she's 32yrs. and four boy 30yrs. 25yrs. 25yrs. then me. My father is a convicted felon, through out my whole life, he has been in my life, but, he has been in the prison system the majority of the time. my five brothers have a history of encountering with law. PERSONALLY I REFUSE TO LET EVERYONE, WHO HAS PORED INTO ME GREAT KNOWLEDGE TO BE BETTER AND MUCH GREATER THINGS, from mentors, my mother, my GRANDMOTHER DOLORAS C. BLANCHETT, my late grandfather Earl Blanchett, MY UNCLE RONALD, and my coaches who coach me through life and continue to do so. My father is a good man, But I still fill like he didn't handle his responsibility as a man and teach me as i was younger, what was up ahead of me.

I feel like a young black or what ever race he may be male could not relate to me and what life styles and history, I have seen, felt and heard from experience, could understand my drive and hunger for greatness and nothing but the best of success.
