Don't give up.

I have had family members say they think i'm better than them because I go to college. I've had coworkers make fun of me and tell me going to college at my age in my 30s is stupid. Just now I was kicked out of the house during finals and during my heavy study session.

Fight with everything you got.

Fight for your future.

Fight for whatever you believe in.

I graduate on Saturday and nothing will ever change the gift of perseverance one can have when applying their focus and hardwork to their dreams. Become a genius of hardwork and you will acomplish wondrous things.

Life isn’t fair and it will always hit you with something you don't expect. If you get knocked down you must pick yourself up for YOU. Eat well, sleep, and study plenty. You got this!!

NEVER FUCKING GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!

My second viewing result was more crying, more dancing, and more hype. I love you Michael Jackson. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and making my life just a little better through your philosophy, work ethic, and magic.

I still believe the movie was great. A solid 9 if not 10/10; however, the memoir written by Michael Jackson himself called Moonwalk sheds a very different light on the entire movie.

Child-when MJ was young of course he didn't get to play with his brother all the time and his dad was abusive, but in the book Joe doesn't beat the child that broke the string. He told the child "show me what u got" and then after he heard the child play he wanted a band of his children. Joe also quit playing in his own band and even started to buy microphone and speakers and instruments that gave MJ and the jackson 5 an edge during competitions. MJ also enjoyed practical jokes him and his brothers would bond over while touring. They even watched strippers together and MJ was exposed to a drag show showcase at a young age. MJ and the jackson 5 maintained straight As even while touring with private tutors, media, shows, and fans.

Diana ross saw a sparkle in MJ as a child and introduced him to drawings, poetry, the ARTs.....alot was missing from his adolescent era which is what shaped him into MJ.....I highly recommend reading the book. Its very insightful.
