Just One Job… May Change My life Scholarship Slam


If an Author is a job than believe me my life will be changed.

I sit and pondered on what is it I want to do for the rest of my life.

It came clear to me that it would be to write.

I would write not for stardom, not for success but just for others.

I want to see the joy, the sorrow, the relief or whatever emotion comes from my writing.

How I will I do it? The answer is simple.

I just got to believe.

I believe and watch my dream will be achieved.

A critic, a hypocrite, a liar, a hater may stand in my way.

 My family, my friends, my fear, others believes can slow me down.

However, thoughts are simple challenges to overcome.

I don’t believe in obstacles you have to run over or through.

Instead, I believe God puts signs of all sorts in front of us.

It’s our job not to run from them.

So, back to the question of what job could change my life.

I believe the title of the job is….

The Author that defeated all enemies, passed all signs and signals, and overcame fears.

I think that job would change my life.
