My purpose for attending school is because i want to make something out of myself; i want my child to say that his daddy has an occupation not just a job. I feel like everyone is suppose to have a "real" job and everyone is suppose to be someone. yes, i plan on obtaining an Associate of Science Degree from Butler Community College. right now at this point in time im getting my general education courses taken care of while attending Butler Community College. once i finish my time over here i will transfer to another school to obtain a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education. i will transfer to a Division 1 school and continue going to school while still playing football and all that good stuff. at this point in my life im looking for a school that is cheap, afforadable, and has good teachers/professors i love kids a whole bunch, infact that is the only thing that im a sucker for. so for you women you get nothing, but if you got kids you prolly can win me over by your lil' ones.....sike!!!!!!!! naw i am playin but i do love kids though. i can not wait till i have my own classroom with my own students with my own rules. this is a very big dream for me, but more than that its a very big step in my life as a man, african american, brother, uncle, cousin, etc..in life if you want to be successful you have to have goals set high for yourself, but not to high and in order for those dreams to become a reality you must work for every inch that there is in order to get what you want. nothing comes easy or is handed to you while here on earth because this isnt a fair and easy thing to be a part of, but since we are apart of it you must do your very best at whatever it is that your working towards and dreams will come true.
a wise man once told me that no matter what happens to me in life, nothing and i mean nothing shall keep you from acheiving great things. i took that into consideration and thats why i am writing this blog.

Academic Honesty
Honesty is a powerful word that means so much, but when you talk about "academic" honesty the word means so much more. we all know that education pays and in order for you to get that pay you have to do the work and while doing the work you must also be honest about the situation. you must keep honesty within your heart no matter what your doing, but especially in school because it can make or break you as a student. i feel this way just for the simple fact that i do not like it when others are dihonest towards me and so i must be honest when it comes to life, school, and everything else. look mane keep it real with yourself and be honest with your papers because you never know somebody out there may find your work interesting and may want to take down what you wrote.

Community Service
The topic for todays blog is community service, how do i feel about it? mane its quite simple i don't care anythang about community service. I mean what has the community done for me? Nothin, zip, nada and thats why i could care less about it and i sure wouldnt volunteer to do such a thing either. Mane i've been doing this whole thing with two ppl my wife Porsche'( not my wife yet, but will be after this semester) & my Daddy the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. when that situation popped off this christmas break (07') where was the community when my wife and I were askin 4 help? I tell u exactly where they were at walkin in tha opposite direction with their backs turned on us. Mm-mm thats a shame that we live in a such a cruel and diminshed world, but it is what it is. My wife stuck by my side as well as my Daddy and that's all i need; belive that.

Coping With Change
Lets see the biggest change that i have gone through this previous year is going from living in an apartment and having food, water, heat, etc. to living in my car for two weeks during the cold wintery season. Now, the next question is was it difficult and my answer to that is what do you think?
Change for me in life is not difficult at all because I'm used to it. I come from the hood where real things happen and it isnt any picnic either. So whenever something happens to me whether big or small I don't panic or lose my mind I just keep going; change isnt difficult it just sucks whenever it does come around.
Change is necessary because whether or not you want it to happen that's just the way the world works. Without change how can we move on in this hectic chaotic world?
College is different from High School because you have more freedom. You get to pick and choose what you want to do and you have less classes in a single day. The major changes involved with this process is you have to be on your toes and on point with everything you do because now you have more responsibility.
Yes, I have been a person to initiate change and the change was going to college. Me going to college is just like me doing anything else: one group is cheering me on while the other group is mad because I'm doing what they couldn't do.
Umm yes I have. Well, I guess you don't know what I'm saying yes to so I'll tell you. The emotional change was leaving my woman, family, and homies back home, but when it's time for a man to get up and do what he must do than emotions get thrown out the window. Physically its been lifting weights and playing ball at this collegiate level.
The change thats caused me the most anxiety was living in my car. The reason why I was feeling like this was not because thats how my cards were delt, but because I'm a MAN and I had no roof to put over my babys head or have a bathroom for her to take care of herself the proper way. Now, if you any type man at ALL than you understand what I'm talking about. How does that look me not being able to provide for my woman and I'm the man? But dont worry bout that though besause as long as I'm living she will always have a home and this will never NEVER happen again(God forbid).
Attitudes that stop change are the attitudes of weak minded people. People whos had everthing handed to them or those people who haven't gone through anything too extreme.

I'm unlike anything you've ever come across
My name is Antonio "weeble" Clements aka ghost and im 19 years of age. I'm here at Butler on a football scholarship, but thats not the main reason for me being here. I love money, but dont get it twisted or misunderstood. Money does not controll me and I will never sell my kinfolk or my homies out for a dollar, but lets be honest without money you can do nothing. I love my family, and the loyal homies that are with me, but above all I love God. He's the ONLY friend that has never let me down and no matter what the situation looked like he always always stepped in on time. Ummmmmm and shout outs to my 3 brothers: Monty, Brotha, and Travion. Also to my momma and to Porsche who is what defines a real woman.
