I’m Graduating… Woot Woot!
Well, folks… I graduate in three weeks, and I am super proud of myself for sticking it out. I’ve had my ups and downs, but I’m finally here. As I sit here, basking in the sunlight of this milestone, I think back to the times when I didn’t believe I would make it. But here I am.
I owe it all to each and every person who has supported me through thick and thin. Whether you helped make my website a hit, supported my dreams, or shot content for me on TikTok, you played a role in making this milestone possible. I want to thank every single one of you for coming together and helping me get through this. I’m proud of each and every one of you.
Even though my ceremony isn’t until November 2025, I’m so excited to be out of school as of March 31, 2025. That’s only a couple of weeks away! I still can’t believe I pushed myself through—from being expelled to fighting my way back in—and now, I’m here. I really am making moves toward my success and my goals, but I couldn’t have done it without all of you.
Thank You!
I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in this journey. I’m so proud of you all for pushing me toward this milestone. I’d like to give a special thank-you to the following people:
Darren
Thank you for everything you’ve done for Tyberious and me. Without your support, I don’t think this would have been possible. You and Coffee gave us a sense of security, and over the past two years, you’ve taken a lot of stress off my shoulders. Thank you for taking care of Tyberious while I was in school, trying to build something for both of us. You taught me about love and kindness, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Luchia
When I was debating going back to school, you encouraged me to take the leap. You also helped with Tyberious for those first few months, and I will never forget that. I’m so grateful for your encouragement and support. I’m also incredibly happy that the universe provided you with the life you deserve—giving you Rudy as your companion and all the good that has come your way. What you did for Tyberious and me will never be forgotten. I love you so much, and I’m so glad you’re Tyberious’ Mima. Thank you!
Tim
You inspired me to go back to school. If it weren’t for you pursuing acting, I wouldn’t have pursued Film Production. When I got expelled, you encouraged me to keep fighting, and for that, I want to thank you. You were my inspiration for Internal Struggles, and though things didn’t work out between us, I still appreciate everything. You were my best friend for nineteen years, and even though I told you long ago that it wouldn’t work between us, I still want to acknowledge the impact you had on my journey. Thank you.
Andrew
I want to thank you for being there when I needed you. You gave me the best gift a person could ask for, but then you were selfish and left me to make the hardest decision of my life thirteen years ago. You wanted nothing to do with us, and for that, I am angry. However, your absence gave me the strength and courage to want better for myself, and in a strange way, I thank you for that. But make no mistake—you’re an asshole, and I hope you never have more children because you, sir, are a deadbeat.
Allison
I’m so sorry that we’ve lost touch over the past few years. Between work and school, things have been hectic. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. I’ve seen you pop into my streams, and I truly appreciate your support. It means a lot.
Nichole
There’s so much I need to thank you for. Thank you for not letting me quit school—you pushed me when I needed it and were always ready to kick my butt into gear. Thank you for being there for me, whether during my streams or just as someone to talk to. Because of you, I was able to reassess my path and become a better version of myself—not just as a streamer, but as a student. Thank you!
Brad
Thank you for inviting me to the network. It meant so much to be included. I know I haven’t been streaming as much lately, but I will be back. I hope you and I can continue this journey together because you’ve made a lot possible—even if you were distant. That’s okay. I appreciate that you brought me back into streaming and tried to help me succeed this past year. You’ve also taught me a lot about myself and about success.
These past few months, I’ve had to step back—not just from you, but from streaming—to focus on graduating and other things in my life. But I won’t quit. You taught me to never quit, never back down, and to keep pushing forward. Thank you for that. It truly means a lot.
Joanne
I want to thank you for the shit you put me through growing up. The constant you can’t mentality, the name-calling, the you’ll never amount to anything bullshit. Because of you, I learned to recognize gaslighting for what it is, and I shed the toxic weight of your narcissistic nonsense.
Over the past ten years, I’ve come to realize that I am worthy, smart, loving, caring, kind, strong, resilient, and yes, I do amount to something. You were holding me back from truly being myself, and for that, I thank you—for taking your toxicity out of my life and leaving me the hell alone. I am who I am, and you can’t take that away from me.
If I’ve missed anyone, let me know in the comments, and I will personally thank you!
It Takes a Village
I’ve realized something over the past few months—it truly takes a village to reach goals and milestones. It takes a team, a family, friends, and even schoolmates to make things happen.
When I was depressed, my village was there. When I wanted to quit, they pulled me out of that mindset. When I couldn’t sleep, they stayed up with me. When I was failing, they helped me succeed. And when I was anxious about streaming, they calmed me down and reassured me that everything would be okay.
This is the best village to have—a village full of support, kindness, empowerment, and understanding. I am so grateful to have finally found my people.
A Message of Guidance
To anyone struggling right now: Find your village. Find the people who will support you the most, because those people will lift you up when you need it most. They will carry you through the hardest times. Your struggles shape your future, no matter what. Ride the wave until it dissipates—because if you don’t, you’ll surely fail. Keep going, and eventually, you’ll find success.
What’s Next?
I don’t know exactly what’s next. All I know is that I’ll keep streaming with The Block Live for as long as I can. I have my certificate in Film Production, but something keeps telling me to keep streaming. I don’t care if I fail—I’ll keep riding the wave until I find my success.
I will also use my Film Production training to improve my videos and content across TikTok and other streaming platforms.
I’m going to keep going, and I will get there. Success is all about learning and working alongside a village. Thank you all for being on my journey, as I am on yours.
