No Validity w/out Reliability

Don’t Stop

Reliability is the quality of being trustworthy and consistent. Personally this week I have worked out fives times a week, read my readings for class, turned in my assignments on time and showed up as my best self consistently ( a struggle when I’m snotting all day, y’all know its gross smh). Yet, I have to admit I do feel like I am missing something. Every week this program feels closer to a job. Don’t get me wrong; I love the environment , ambition and interest from cohorts and myself and maturity. But, I am leaving behind the social life of Howard, being a student athlete, crazy life and crazier stories. For that my intentions internally and externally can not miss.

Aim with a Purpose

This transitioning stage is challenging my ability to thrive in a new setting. When I set my goals I have to not only be reliable with working towards them but have a valid target. Validity is making sure a test measures what it is supposed to measure. So here I am double checking everything I am doing. Am I just doing something to check off a box or purposeful?

I have Done it before & I will Do it again

All to say I can sit here and give you this feel bad story for Lita that I see the same five people all day and have went days without leaving my apartment complex BUT you know right after you say “aww” imma throw some inspirational quote at you. The quote is the subtitle ;). Here I am, rearranging how and where I work out & making plans (coming soon).

Prayers

Love all y’all. May my light shine through my words to you.
