Story Time

  Back when I was in year 11 I told a substitute teacher to fuck off. This happened because she would always listen to everyone’s version and not mine. For some reason she labled me difficult. Bare in mind she wasn’t my usual teacher. Before the incident I never really spoke to her so we didn’t really have a good relationship. There were two classmates, boys of course, that I would always speak to and play fight. Unfortunately neither of them knew their limits when it comes to playing with a distinguished lady like me.  It was the end of the lesson and we were waiting for the bell to ring. One of them decided it was a good idea to throw a pencil into my eyes. Like a self fulfilling prophecy the pencil hit me not too far from my eyeballs. It landed on my eyelid. Out of pain I ran out of the classroom because my eyelid was bleeding.  At the end of the school day I bumped into the teacher again and she yelled at me saying: “ never ever ever walk out of the classroom without ...

I've been learning about stock trading since summer 2024. At first it seemed very complicated but with time I'm beginning to understand it. One of my first lessons was about Naked Price Action. NPA tells you what the price is going to be at any given time. I'm also learning about "Bullish" and "Bearish" candles. A bullish candle shows that the price of the stock has increased over time and they are code colour blue or green. A bearish candle shows you the opposite, it shows that the price has decreased over time and they are always red candles. The opening of a "Bullish" candle starts from the bottom of the candle and finishes at the...

Part 1. Financial literacy teaches you how to manage your money, how to invest and reinvest for greater financial freedom. I started learning about financial literacy in year 10 on the mobile app “ moneytime ”. Unfortunately moneytime does not provide an affiliate program so I don’t earn a pound by writing about them. I just want to share how useful this app has been to me. Moneytime taught me about loans, mortgages, payslips, capital gains, taxes, self employment, stocks, bonds, how to invest in real estate and allot more which I am going to share with you in future posts.

What Is My Relationship With My Stepmom Like ?

Image
  We have a decent relationship. Not too much not too little. For the past 4 years she has taken over the role of mother to me. It wasn’t easy at first but with time I got used to her. She was the first person that I started sharing some of my secrets with, but as I grew older, I discontinued the habit. I wish I could continue sharing my secrets with her because that really helped me at first when I had no one to talk to. I stopped because as I got older my secrets started getting deeper and deeper. I appreciate the fact that she’s the one that introduced me to the makeup and cosmetics world. I use to be such a tomboy at 11 years of age. She’s also the first person that bought me my first art kit for my birthday. Blessing dancing Salsa with Abigail She has been keeping up with all the things I’ve done good and bad. Honestly if I was someone’s stepmom I would just leave. She’s been patient and calm. One thing I wish for the future is for us to have a relationship that will be way mo...

How Has My Relationship With My Parents Changed Since Exams ?

Image
  After seeing my exam results my parents realised they had to put their foot down. Because the next step, sixth form, is not going to be a joke. I’ve also been more quiet, reserved, even though I have always been this way. People ask me if I’m going to miss secondary school, my answer is not at all. The only thing I miss is wearing my school uniform. Sometimes you need to let the past go. I’m looking forward for what the future has for me. I’m creating my brand, and growing my community on social media. I will be offering a custom complete makeup kit, lashes and a clothing line. I don’t have a name yet and I’m fully open to ideas. All this will be managed by my parents whilst I focus on retaking my Maths and English. I want to know what you think? Would you support my side hustle when I launch?
