known as Joeyism

Good evening everyone!
I'm thrilled to be able to share my first blogging experience for this project with blogger.com. My name is Joseph, but my friends call me Joey, J, Joe. My signature is Joeyism, it is what I like to go by. So as time goes by you will see that in my blogs I post they will say my name I go by, which is Joeyism. Well here is a little about Joeyism's life. I just recently turned 17 on March 4th. I am a sophomore that walks the halls of Coral Springs Charter. Class of 2011! I am a Floridian by heart! I love the weather and the atmosphere. I am SADD Vice President and I love every minute of it. I believe everything happens for a reason and that you have to loose something to gain something and, you have to let go to start a better begining. Now with that I will conclude this blog with tonight's quote:

CSCS -SADD gaining strength, courage, and confidence, while giving back to the community one project at a time.

In my opinion I think this quote can mean a variety of things and for everyone it means something specific to that person. For me I believe that since I have joined SADD and also have become Vice President, I have gained so much strength and courage and knowledge to become who I really want to be, to voice my thoughts and feelings and to stand up for what I believe in. I held back so many feelings before, at night I would cry because of the destructive decisions my friends and other people I knew choose. I would want to help them and wouldn't know how or even what to say or think. I would go day by day smiling and walking in the hall passing face by face knowing how much it hurt but I couldn't let them see the pain, then Ms. Dallas encouraged me to join SADD and that's where my journey began. It has made me want to become something much bigger then what I could every imagine. Every good organization, school, job, community needs a Ms. Dallas that will lead you in the right path and never leave you behind. We can do whatever our hearts desire, not only as a SADD organization but as indivisuals, as long as we believe we can and we try our hardest to reach that goal any opportunity is in our reach.
