In last night's episode of Supergirl, there was a scene where Supergirl (without her powers) gets a robber to put down the gun by telling him that he needs to choose to be a better man. It is human to be selfish and step on others not caring about each others feelings in order to get what we want (Cat Grant), however we can choose who we are.
How true this is! Individually we have the power to choose to do good and be a positive influence instead of someone who winds up in jail. Let's put down the gun and do the best we can for ourselves, family and friends the right way.

DEAF CAN!!
Some of you may already know and be celebrating, however for those who are unaware Nyle DiMarco won America's Next Top Model this past Friday. The reason why this has got me all excited is because not only is he a gorgeous model, but he is also Deaf first.
Sadly, many people believe that the Deaf are stupid, can't do much on their own, can't drive, can't......and the list goes on all involving pity. We are not sorry to be Deaf, in fact we feel the opposite. We embrace it. We have our own community complete with a culture and language. Hearing people are looking at us from the outside in. It's not a bad thing to be Deaf. This fact took me a long time to realize and I'm so glad that God helped me find my niche within this unique world.
Back to Nyle, he did an amazing job and it would be like meeting my favorite celebrity if I ever got to give him a hug. So many obstacles stood before him and he knocked them all down. Similar to what President Barack Obama is for the African American community, Nyle has helped the hearing world see what DEAF CAN DO AND ACCOMPLISH! For this, I am just as proud of him as Tyra and his mama! :D
The rest of the Deaf community needs to follow suit and continue to strive for excellence at our chosen professions. Whatever you do, do your best! The world is watching.
