I Know I Can by Nas

I like this song by Nas because it tells me that I can be whatever I want as long as I work hard. It shows we how people who live in worst situations that me can be successful. When I see others becoming what they want to be, I know I just have to work harder to become what I want to be. I know I have to start handing in assignments on time and studying for test so I can graduate. Especially when I go to college were theirs no one reminding me when assignments are due and test to study for. I know college is going to be hard but I know I can graduate with the highest degree possible in my field of study.

I think nas wrote this song to inspire young brothers and sisters like me not to give up and feed into the negative things we see around us. He wrote this to show us the write path for success. I also think he wrote the song to show where he came from and what he had to go through to get where he is today. He shows how people around him were on drugs and acting older than they were. "little girls up in the club with fake ID's , be careful before you meet a man with HIV" This shows how he used his song to show girls acting older than they actually are.

My favorite line from the song is " If you can believe you can achieve then say it like this, I know I can" because this line inspired me to always think positive and positive things will happen. So far in my life I have been thinking positive and i'm almost done with high school and on my way to college.

Today in ms tomlins class I am learning about economics and how to create my own business. In class i'm creating my own cupcake business. I didnt know it requires a lot of math to run your own business. You have to calculate the amount you spend on ingredients, tables, and play your business will be. It was easy for me because I like math. The only hard part was figuring out how much to spend on the location of the business. I figured it out and created my business for cupcakes. I think i'm going to major in economics since I love the class so much. I can see myself owning a business and coming up with ways to make them grow. I'm always wearing a suit and tie anyway so the dress code wont bother me. I just have to stay focus on what I want to do. I think ms tomlin is making us take economics because we often spend money to freely without saving for more important things. I used to just spend money as soon as I get it , I couldn't even save a dollar Now when I get money I put half to the side and save it for emergencies or when my mother doesn't cook. Im glad to take this class because it gives me an opportunity to see what it takes to have a business and how to manage it.
