An event that happened to me, that I learned from, is getting pregnant at a young age.
My mom always talked to me about how boys would try to pull anything just to get in a girls pants. She told me if I ever were to have sex, to do it with protection.
Obviously, like a dumb ass I didn't listen, and now look where it got me. Thirty-nine weeks pregnant, due in another week, and feeling hopeless.
I should have just listened to my mom, otherwise I wouldn't be in this predicament right now. I wouldn't have to worry about if I'm going to finish school or not on time.
True life lesson learned, if anything, if I could, I'd try to stop every young girl from doing what I did and talk to them and truly stop them from making the mistake that I did. Finish school. Get a education for yourself before you think about laying down with any guy, and if you do make that decision to lay down, take that responsibility and use protection cause no kid should have a kid if they're just a kid themselves.
Take it from me, if you care about your life.

The difference between street smarts and book smarts is
Streets smarts is having knowledge about the real world experience.
Book smarts is having a school education, and actually learning something instead of hanging in the streets.

Biography of Leslie Harris
Leslie Harris was born in West Suburban Hospital just outside of Chicago, Illinois on June 21, 1996. For the first couple years of Leslie's life, she had lived in Chicago with her mother, father, and her three older brothers. Two year later, Leslie's now 15 year old brother was born in the same exact hospital and then the family sought out for Memphis, Tennessee. Still very young, Leslie has moved backward and forward, from state to state with her mom and four other siblings. Around the time Leslie was 4 years old, she had moved to Helena, Arkansas, a very small area in the south, where she started in a head-start program. In Helena, most of Leslie's family is from that small area, and that's where most of them lived... the family on Leslie's mother's side.
Leslie's life in the south was sweet, she had thought. She was young and didn't have a care in the world. She didn't have to do as much as her three older brother's did like going to grade school or her mom with the constant working and grocery shopping when she didn't have to work. "Where was the fun at in working???".
Suddenly, after the years were passing on, Leslie's young life started to change and rapidly, too!
She soon had to start grade school where she thought she had to do constant work. Everyday was constant work for her. Getting up early in the morning was a constant struggle to her but at least now she knew how her brother's felt and her mom, too. She attended J.F. Wahl elementary school. Shortly after her second year in school there, she had left in late 2004 and went back to Chicago where she started 4th grade, never going to 3rd grade, in early 2005!
After 4th grade, Leslie and her family moved back to Arkansas where she finished 5th and 6th grade, graduating from J.F. Wahl elementary. Then, in the Fall of September 2008, Leslie and her family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Leslie attended a middle school that was inside of her three older brother's high school. The middle school was called Afro-Centric and was 6-8th grade and the high school was North High Academy, grades 9-12th. As Leslie's brother's got up in the morning for school, she had to get up, too and very early in the morning in the harsh winter and knee-deep snow. But through all that, Leslie actually loved her school. She met very new people and soon after entering school, Leslie made plenty of friends. Leslie's favorite slogan is "Making people smile is my style!". Soon, Leslie's most fun year of her life, she thought, had come to an end, but not a complete end, after she found out that her school inside of North High Academy was going to be closed down. She was upset cause her friends and her would separate from each other and she felt as if though she will never see them again!
Hope wasn't completely lost because when Leslie started a different junior high school it was even better than the one before and on top of that, some of her old friends were there and she met even more friends. That school year wasn't as great as it could've been but it could've been way worst in which it wasn't. Throughout Leslie's 8th grade year, her family moved from house to house. In each house there was always something wrong, but at least Leslie had her own space, she'd always think. Then came freshman year. Leslie was curious about starting high school because of all the stories she had heard about high school and what people did to "fresh-meat". It was nothing like people put it out to be. She started Patrick Henry High and she made 10x the amount of friends of each school year before!!!
Leslie didn't finish her school year, unfortunately she thought. Her family moved back to Arkansas in which Leslie disliked so much, she hated Helena and still do right to this day. She finished the rest of her freshman year. It actually turned out to be a pretty good year though when Leslie's baby sister was born a day before her birthday. In the summer of 2011, Leslie's mom, baby sister and her had came back to Minnesota. Leslie's life had been pretty rocky, facing many problems and now attends North Senior Academy currently in her senior year (last year in high school).
Now, Leslie is currently pregnant and will be giving birth to a baby boy on November 7th, 2013 and she says "I can not wait until he gets here so I can love him and treat him with warmth and kindness like a great mother should care for a child"!

Four Quotes About Knowledge:
The first quote that I recognize about knowledge is
"Knowledge Is Power". Its obvious that everyone had heard this quote many times before, but to me I think this means that Knowledge will and is the key to successful living and well-being!
The second quote that I think is important is
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing".
- Socrates
To me this means that you'll only be a little bit more wiser if you come to your senses that you really don't know as much as you may think you know!
The third quote that I think is important is
"Any fool can know. The point is to understand".
- Albert Einstein
To me this means that anybody/any person can know what something is or what it says but the key is to understand what it actually means or what it actually can do or represent. Without this, what is knowledge if you can't/don't understand it???!!
The fourth but not final quote that I think is important is
"The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery.
There is always more mystery".
- Anais Nin
This to me means that even if you may think that you have lots of knowledge, you still,too, may also wonder about knowledge or anything that comes with it. For instance, you can know a lot about certain things but you can also still think about how they work and where did this thing come from all of a sudden, what year, or even why its here!, you Know?!! What are the benefits of it, and just so much mystery comes out of it but its pretty much up to you to solve that mystery! ;-)

What does the phrase "Knowledge Is Power" mean to Me
Well, my understanding of the words knowledge is power to me means knowledge is the key to success. To break it down in a more simple format, having knowledge can lead you to success. To me there are two types of knowledge. One is street knowledge and the other is book knowledge. These both have minor similarities but they are very different. Some people have one or the other or some just use them both. I consider myself having both street smarts and book smarts too. Street knowledge or street smarts just simply means that you know your way out in the real world. This can come from the "real world" experience that lots of people face. Also street smarts can mean that you can most likely make it out on your own. On the other hand, book knowledge just simply means that you know "facts". This can most likely occur from you being in school and getting a education for yourself. Combined, who knows what you could achieve. Together, the both make a perfect pair because if you have knowledge from the streets and knowledge from school too, you could master a job! Sometimes you could achieve much, much more than that as well!!!!!
The Three Most Significant Moments Of My Life
The very first significant moment of my life was the day my little sister was born. In 2011, a day before my birthday, my beautiful little sister was born. June 20th, 2011. The very next day, my birthday in which I didn't get any gifts, no party, no nothing, except that Ahmonie, my sister, came home from the hospital :-)!!!!! The best time of my life I had thought!
The second significant moment of my life was when my little sister was 2 months old and my mom, my sister and me left to come back to Minnesota... My lil sis was born in Arkansas, thats where we lived, unfortunately :-/...... but yeah anyway, that was significant because it was the first time in my life i got used to taking care of babies cause my lil sister was just a baby and I had to watch her while my mom was in the hospital, feed her, dress her, take her to the hospital to see our mom, etc.
The last but not least significant moment in my life is getting pregnant. I never knew I was gonna be a mom at such a young age and on top of that I have to worry about finishing school on time and taking care of a baby that I wasn't even ready to have. Well unfortunately, thats the way the cookie crumbles and now I have to deal with it. I'm not feeling guilty for myself and I have no regrets cause I could've prevented it so it is what it is, you know!
Well those are just three.... but honestly theres way more.
