- Who is my favorite teacher at Uplift?

I have plenty of teachers I considered a favorite. Every year it's always a new person added to the list. My favorite adult in Uplift that isn't a teacher, is Mr. Jones! That will never change! I LOVE MR. JONES! He understands me, and corrects me when I'm in the wrong. He doesn't judge me and sees me for who I really am, despite anything else. Ok, but here are my list of favorite TEACHERS since being in High School.



Freshman Year

• Ms. Bartels


• Mr. Yolich

Sophmore Year

• Ms. Rodriguez


• Ms. Robin (=D)

Junior Year

• Mr. Winfrey


• Mr. Haines

So that's my list! I love them all! Only because they show me that they care and/or kept it real with me above anything else. They also understand me as a student even if they don't agree to my work ethic habits.

- Is hip-hop better than it was in the past(1995-2000), or vice-versa?

Hip-Hop isn't dead yet, just hospitalized from cancer, and the only cure lies in the words of true hip-hop artists. The only way the cancer can spread is if artists like Soulja Boy, F.L.Y., Plies, and G-Spot continue to make pointless stuff. Sure it attracts younger kids and garuntees a good time when you wanna tweak and have some fun, but no, it's not worth costing Hip-Hop's life. You know Hip-Hop was made off of real artists saying something you can relate to, but I wanna know how can you relate to the Stanky Leg or Do The Ricky Bobby! Artists nowadays that can cure hip-hop are Drake, Kanye West, Common, Nas, T.I., Lupe Fiasco, and Jay-Z. Tupac is still my all time favorite artist! I gotta give KUDOS to Biggie too!

-Having Kids

I would have kids between the age range 25-31. No older than that. If so I'll adopt. I want to have 1 Girl and 1 Boy. My son will be my favorite! His name is going to Ahmad Dahir Abdalla! Yay! My daughter will be named Amayeta or Ebony, but she will take her father's last name. I would not like to have kids at an early age, you know I'm not capable of caring for a child, when I'm not even in the position to care for myself.

-What is love?

Love is so amazing...but it has it’s moments...it can have you up then down. People try to say that real love is when you don’t wanna go to sleep because reality is so much better than a dream. Is that really true? Because I know people who love someone with every fiber in their body but they have those days where they wanna sleep to get away from reality. So that’s not exactly accurate. Love is what you make it and just because you in a relationship with someone you can still love someone else. While someone is out there hoeing around...they can still love someone. It just matters whether or not you respect that person. Plus, if you are in love with someone you won’t have to worry about being disrespected or cheated on. Nothing like that. Understand that loving someone and being in love is two different things. Being in love is better than amazing...it’s breath-taking and endless...it’s everything you ever wanted and more. It’s when it exceeds your expectations.

"Love conquers all, is what we're told. Which love conquers all? No one love is the same & if everyone's love is different, one love can defeat the other."

To fight the battle of life, you don't have to use your fists to survive. You need to have a strong mind & heart to win, and even the strongest, get weak. As long as you don't surrender to what life hits you with. All you can do is come out alive." - Timiro A.

I feel that last year I had to prove who I was. Show what Timiro stood for. All the time. It was a never ending battle...and I felt as though I broke down a couple of times, but I never surrendered. I was introduced to immaturity, ignorance, liars, stunts, and so much more to the umpteenth level! Wow! I'm not gonna lie, I had a couple of those moments, but those few moments didn't define me. I made mistakes, but who doesn't? I'm human aren't I?I just hate when people put on a facade that they are one way when they're another. Pull the wool over people's eyes, because they know the fool will let them. I'm tired of being misunderstood because people wanna be seen in a better light than I. Well, to my haters, and followers. I don't just shine, I illuminate the whole show. So, get out of your fantasy world that, you can out shine me. Also, don't lie to yourself because truth is, when a lie is repeated enough it becomes the truth. Don't fall before your pushed, stop tripping over your own shoe stringsI've said my piece for now. Ha! Feel no way about what I wrote, just some personal thoughts. If you do feel a way...good. Maybe it'll help you for the better.

Stole it from Mike B.! Yay! Good stuff!

Understand that a patient man doesn't wait for his benefits; a patient man waits to give the girl her benefits. To become what she needs, but a girl can not be scared of lions, tigers, or bears and can still be scared of the one they love. Understand that patient man understands all of the patient man needs no date all he asks for is the assurance of the girl's presence. To do little things with a patient man and love it proves that time is worth wasting with this patient man. A patient man does try hard to convince, but never blames the girl for taking her time, however take heed to what a patient man is saying. If you stick around a patient man and a patient man opens up to you…do not disregard those feelings. Even if a patient man doesn't directly tell you that he has feelings for you, once he talks about his feelings around you he must have some type of attraction to you. Understand that a patient man is easy to love once you give it a chance; a patient man doesn't need more than one chance and if he happens to fuck up once a patient man will fight all odds to get that girl back.

For the people who are pursuing people, but are afraid...

-Fear is stronger than love sometimes. Fear is a crippling emotion. Fear will prevent you from what you're capable of attaining. It's alright to be hesistant, but sometimes you gotta let everything go and do what you know YOU SHOULD/WANT/NEED to do. It never hurts to adjust to something new and get out of your comfort zone. It's always good to try something new and aim to get what you want, by any means neccessary.

(Ok, that's all folks!)
