What The men In My Life Have Taught Me

The men in my family play an imporant key role in my life. Their advice is always helps to get through any situation I am going through. Today, I will be talking about some tips and advice, that they gave to me that has helped me the most, to hopefully help someone who is going through a hard time.

1. Don't let loneliness control you

One thing my brother told me before I went to college is to not let loneliness get to you. In high school, I remember a girl who ever knew, who everyone notice. Then I came to college all that stopped and loneliness settled in. I had to get used to being by myself and not to seek attention from certain people. I had to notice that not all attention is good attention.

2. You have the power

In the dating world, knowing your worth is important asset. Having self love is the first important key to have whether you are single or in a relationship. Knowing that you have the power of self-love and self-worth is a game charger. Because this asset lets the person you are interested with or in a relationship know that you will not tolerate disrespect or mistreated; because you owe yourself more than that.

3. On to the next

My father would tell me this, when I would face rejection. Just continue to move on and something else or someone else will come. Just because something did not work out, it is not the end of the world. Something else will come your way, something better.

4. Don't tell all your business to people

Telling everyone your business is a no go. Letting everyone know your ambitions, money amount, relationship problems, or just about your life in general is not good. There are some people in this world that just talks to you just to get information about your life just to gossip and add their two cents; which is unnecessary. Letting people know a little bit about yourself is fine, but not your whole life. Because people will go and run wit you. You will even face some people who will want to be in your shoes, so telling them your next steps, about your relationship or job will only help them try to out do you.

5. Watch People Actions

Have you ever dated someone who promise they will change but their actins do not match? I have. I noticed the words are nothing compared to a person actions. The way a person treats you is how they really feel towards you. Don't fall for words because that can lead to disappointed when not followed through. Try this. Examine a friend or a significant other. Examine how they treat you. You will quickly find out how they actually fel about you. People actins say everything. If a person treats you with disrespect, they have no respect for you. Also, examine yourself why you are letting this person fill up with broken promises. Its 2018, we have not time for broken promises anymore.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
