  1. Divine timing - The belief that you are exactly where you should be and that everything that happens in your life, happens at exactly the right time. A lot of y’all won’t believe me, if never told you all. But I graduated high school In 2021, when originally I should have graduated in 2018. I got kicked out for fighting, but in the same token in 2018 I was a restaurant general manager at Burger King with a staff of 22 employees. I always knew that I would be successful in whichever field I decided to go in, to be 18 and run an entire store is nothing short of a blessing. I could of stayed a high school dropout and never returned & finished, but I truly believe in being educated and everything happens on divine timing. I may not have understood that fully at that age and appointed time but now I do. When it comes to life, your blessings and successes you have to be humble and be able to take a step back and be grateful for how far you have come. A lot of people tell me “ You don’t need school, or college. You’re already successful and have your own business “. But what they never understood is that I VALUE being educated, and that’s WHY I’m successful. Yeah I have a successful business, but it stems from being smart and educated in my field. Without knowledge I am nothing, so I will continue to learn, be humble and sit in a class and take notes, because no matter how young, how inexperienced the students around me are, or how much money I make compared to the professors I still can learn from EVERYONE. In this game of life, humble yourself and remain a student to the game, because listening and taking in information from the right people no matter the age, educational Level or background you can gain something from them. - Future UIC Business Undergraduate 😁
