I didn't know my own strength

I didn't know my own strength - Whitney Houston

As we all know Whitney Houston was a legend and still remains one till this day. It was tough picking a song by her because every single one of her songs is out of this world. She is talented beyond measure and she sings with such passion and makes it look so effortless. I picked this particular song because it relates to my current situation and a lot of my fellow students/peers. I say this because as first-year college students, we are taking a leap of faith and trusting ourselves to be responsible enough to achieve our dreams and make sure we still have the best four years of our lives. I'll be honest, it can be daunting at times because being away from home can truly test ones integrity and resilience. When something gets tough we truly have to deal with it ourselves, we can call our parents but they can only do so much. The lyrics go a little like this "Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength", this speaks so well to our situation. Even if I haven't been through any rough patches yet, we certainly will in the future, near or far. We're considered adults now so there are obstacles we eventually will face and we are held accountable for our actions. If you don't know this song or Whitney Houston, I strongly suggest you check her and her music out!

P. S. YOU WERE NOT BUILT TO BREAK!

Raul Cuero

In the interview with Raul Cuero, he states multiple times that he was discriminated against and faced a lot of adversities in his life. At one point, he also stated that he felt like he had no value once he stepped off the basketball court. With all these things he went through and all these thoughts, he made the choice to overcome them and work 10x harder because he wanted to be important off the basketball court some day. He wanted to be celebrated and used all of what we may consider as "negative' to aim higher and work harder. This interview with Raul Cuero speaks on topics that I believe are still prevalent today and may be relatable to some of today's youth. For instance, students who get recruited to D1 schools for various sports are only nurtured in those sports with little consideration given to their success in the classroom. While some schools do a great job with balancing them out, several universities focus more on sports which in turn leave t

Exceptional grid art

This is my grid art, it is a rose and I specifically picked a rose because my name is Blossom. I actually thought this was fun and interesting, I have never done anything like this and I enjoyed it. Even though it seemed a little confusing at first when I started it, I got the hang of it. I look forward to creating more art in the future!

Introduction

Hi! I'm Blossom Madubike, I'm a freshman enrolled here at UT and I'm studying Biology with a concentration in Pre-Dentistry. I've been interested in the medical field for as long as I can remember and I chose the field of dentistry particularly because Dentists have an immediate impact on their patients and I personally have had the first-hand experience on that because I had issues with my teeth from a young age. Most people are so scared of going to a dentist's office but I love it because whenever I'm there they take care of whatever problem I come in with immediately. I have interned for an oral surgeon for the past two summers and its augmented my interest in the field so much further. I have seen the impact she has on her patients and the relationships she has built with her patients both in and out of the office. So a little bit more about myself; my parents are diplomats so we've been privileged enough to travel the world! This past
