How Sherman Alexie's novel inspired me...

So reading Sherman Alexie's book "Diary of a Part Time Indian," I felt some what inspired. Junior or Arnold, whatever you want to call him, came from a poor family and a rez filled with a bunch of people who never followed their dreams. Junior left the rez to attend a better school and follow his dreams so he doesn't end up like everyone around him. After reading this book I decided to hit the local library and pick up any book that caught my eye. I checked out over 10 books about success, wisdom, intuition and other things that can help me reach my dreams.

Basically Junior took control of his life by getting out of his rez, so I decided to take control of my life by getting out of my strict mindset and exploring new knowledge. Junior became successful, and as corny as I am about to sound.... I will be successful too...

  1. You don't sound corny! You sound confident, aware, & inspired and you know what...I 100% believe that you will be successful. The fact that you know it...means it is going to happen. Believing in yourself will make that happen. Reading will too...but you need that self-determination, self-love and confidence that you exhibit in this post. Great to hear how much the novel inspired you to take control! I love it!
