What I Obtained from Being a Part of a LinkedIn Movement
I was born an individual mostly known as a misunderstood rarity the world spewed out—wise beyond my years and an oddball where my generation is concerned. Everyone yearns to be a success and leave a legacy though many have an interesting view of how they are obtaining it and their personal description of it. Mine stems from how I was raised—the child of an immigrant family; the hardworking and centered head on a youth’s body and the learned helplessness the education system provided. Caught in between this bittersweet spectrum was where a diamond was destined to meld into something greater; something that promotes independence and a doorway for others to step through. The path that added to the present growth is LinkedIn with all her children gifting and receiving knowledge and one way I put my growth to the test was through the "Random Act Movement.” These newfound relationships might’ve been started digitally but the experience was entirely human.

To the Best Friend I've Always Treasured
My Dearest Friend, The years have been bittersweet, haven't they? It's to be expected of course; life is both a figurative and literal rollercoaster, yet since I've met you and we became close friends I've realized how manageable my life has been compared to yours, and the real person lying beneath the facade. Take a step back with me and think of your previous reflection: a fragile, yet outgoing soul with always something holding you back and away from your potential. Even your perspective of what life seemed to be during these critical moments in time was hopeful but still managed to take a turn for the worse--society pumped so much negativity you didn't know where to turn. I believe the world brings us to people and situations to test us in all facets of creation. You were part of my life's journey as I am of yours; but have you ever stopped to think of that fateful day our Freshman year of college would be the catalyst that saw us seeing and experiencing so much in such an animated manner?
