A Daily Quote that I received from my brother Anthony "Scoop" Ervin Junior Shooting Guard for The St. Francis University Red Flash

"Whatever you think is holding you back is not holding you back. What's holding you back is the thought that something is holding you back."

“May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future”

Wale's Ambition a definite must listen!!!

With a slew of mixtapes, Wale built a reputation as a witty rapper who delivered quick punch lines. His skills eventually landed him a major-label deal and debut album, "Attention Deficit," two years ago.
But while his first record received favorable reviews, Wale says he felt artistically stifled under Mark Ronson's Allido Records, a partnership with Interscope Records. So the rapper parted ways with the label and found a new home with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, and so far, the marriage seems to be a perfect fit, as shown with his sophomore album, "Ambition." Wale's clever wordplay meshes well with the high-energy, well-produced tracks typically associated with the Maybach Music brand. The rapper doesn't waste time showing that on his confident intro, "Don't Hold Your Applause."Throughout the album, the Washington, D.C.-raised rapper shows how his hard work has paid off creatively, with songs such as "Focused" featuring Kid Cudi, "No Days Off" and "Legendary."Unlike his previous album, which featured mostly female singers, male R&B crooners are the featured guests, including Ne-Yo, Lloyd, Miguel and Jeremih. Each of the slow-tempo ballads with Wale rapping are easy listens, especially on the album's single, "Lotus Flower Bomb," with Miguel.Wale also provides some thought-provoking perspective on "D.C. or Nothing." He raps about his concern on how a checkup from the doctor strikes more fear into people from his hometown than the local police.

#Wisdom

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

The Silent Killer Amongst Adolescents

#Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), surpassed only by accidents and homicide. When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Family members, friends, teammates, neighbors, and sometimes even those who didn't know the teen well might experience feelings of grief, confusion, guilt and the sense that if only they had done something differently, the suicide could have been prevented. So it's important to understand the forces that can lead teens to suicide and to know how to help.

Sexual activity engaged in by people who have taken precautions to protect themselves against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's)
