Oh em gee!! It's freaking April! Where has the time gone? I can remember back in September when I was at a different place in my life. My my my how I have I have grown so much since then. I'm happy with my life and the people in it. It took alot to get me to this point in my life. I know without GOD and some AMAZING people I wouldn't have made it. I had all this hatred in heart and I realized that not everyone is out to befriend, I just have to appreciate the ones that I have and live, learn and move on. Yes, I can say that I've gone through alot in my 21 years of life, BUT the events that took place made me the person that I am today. Because at this very moment, I'm happy and I'm at peace with everything that has happened. Sure I have some weak moments where I just wanna "check" a few people, but why waste my time, energy, and breath? Obviously I'm not the same SASHA that I once was but you can believe that who I am now is the realist I've ever been. Sure I'm still goofy, silly, quiet, and a little crazy, but now I don't let simple things get to me because they're just not important lol. Sure I could go around thinking about about all the hurt that I've endured over that past couple of months but why dwell on it when I have a life to live and some FABULOUS opportunites waiting for me. So now when you see me, you can say that she's going someplace and NOBODY will stop her. I'm SASHA IMAN and I will be til the day the casket drops. You can love it or hate it but until you've been through some of the ish that I've been through in my life, I wouldn't judge too quickly. Some better get out your notepads because I could teach you a few things. My last statement might've sounded conceited and it might've been, but until you've walked in my shoes YOU WON'T EVER UNDERSTAND. Believe that. So SHOUTOUT to all the people who was there when I needed you the most. It touched my heart in a special place and I'm forever grateful. Ma, Steven, Malaysia, Britt, and Jazz. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Whatever ya'll need I got you! Guess I'll end this before the tears start! Love ya'll. Peace

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!

Today is a very special day. It is January 24, 2010. Today my grandma is 84 years old. It's hard to believe that she's actually 84. I love her with all of my heart and all of my soul. She means more to me than anything. I would give this lady my last breath if I had to no questions asked. Some of you make think that it's a little far fetched for me to say something like that but that's just the way it. My Grandma can have whatever she needs from me. If I have it then she can have it. She's 2nd of my two BFF's. The first one being my Mama but I love them both equally. They both have been there for me through it all. My Grandma is actually the one who inspired me to become a teacher. She knew that I loved children and that I get a joy out of doing some good for people. She made me see that I belong in the teaching world. I can't thank her enough for showing me the light. It's hard to believe that she was born in 1926. She's been through it all and I haven't seen her complain once. I know I wouldn't have been able to survive the things that she had to go through because honestly I'm not as strong of a person as she is. She raised 5 children when my Grandfather died at the tender of age of 42. I don't know how she did it but she made. She saw me graduate from high school. As I said before she's been there through it all. I love her so much. Once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!! I LOVE YOU :-)!!!!

TWENTYTEN :-)

It is 2010. Boy time has sure flown by. 2009 was like a whirlwind. It started out slow and boring. Then the summer hit and it sped up. The memories of Summer '09 were some great ones. I got to work with some AMAZING kids and then I was spending time with a person that will forever be something special. We had/have something between us that changed our lives forever. I also turned 21 and believe it or not I have yet to buy my first alcoholic drink. Since I don't drink much anymore it just seems kinda pointless. Then October came and went and I was mad for a very long time. Some things happened and I just couldn't take it. I was beyond hurt but it's over and done with now. It took me a long time to forgive what happened but I finally realized I can't walk around with that on my heart and I just had to let go and let God have his way. Things finally started to turn around when I let go. Our friendship now is better than ever. Well I can now FINALLY say that the SASHA we all knew is back. I have changed tremendously but I think it has been for the better. I'm not perfect and I know I will never be but I can say this one thing's for sure I'm stronger now and I'm still standing. Thanks to all the people who held me down and were there when I needed a friend to lean on. I appreciate it to the utmost. Until next time...
