Hi! My name is Moneja and I was born in Savannah Georgia, my family and I moved to Atlanta when I was about 13 or 14. In 2015 I graduated high school and then went on to college (Perimeter). A lot of people chose to take a break before starting school, however I wanted to be done as soon as possible. Fast forward 2 years later, I started to feel overwhelmed as school became a little more challenging and slightly confused because I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to major in. Between taking quizzes/test, studying, doing my readings, assignments, and everyday life there was no time for anything fun. Also being a full time student I wasn’t able to have a job and focus 100 percent on school, and without a job there was no extra funds. 

My older sister and I both agreed to take a break from school but we also promised each-other that we will be productive on our break. Our goal was to buy a home, we then began to start working and saving. A year later at 21 and 23 years old we purchased our first home. Although the whole buying process was very tedious and a little annoying we still managed to get the job done and it was well worth it. After we completed our goal with the house we knew we wanted to do more than just work and pay bills. We wanted to become entrepreneurs and in order to break that cycle and make a smooth transition we would have to go back to school. Now we’re back in school and planning to finish, this part of my life is called chasing my dreams and checking off my goals.

My dream as a kid has always been to be “rich, famous, and successful”, those were my exact words any time someone would ask. To go even more into detail I wanted to be an actress and to be completely honest that dream still hasn’t changed the list just got longer. As of 2020 my dreams are to own properties/ get into real estate and own a five star hotel like the W. The main goal for me is to have multiple streams of income. On a much lighter note of my dreams, I still want to become that great actress, high fashion model and even be Miss USA one day, I genuinely would like to do it all. 

My goal for this class is to not only make an “A” but to take every lesson that I’ve learned and apply it to my everyday life. Leaving Perimeter and coming back I realized that the pressure of real life and the real world is way harder than school. I would much rather push through school, start my career, and live a happy way less stressful life. Some great study habits that I’ve developed and I feel works best for is breaking my work down into sections and not just cramming everything in. I learned that being organized and managing your time is very important. If you’re not organized its going to show and you’re bound to stress yourself out trying to survive the semester. A great way to stay organized is to buy those extra supplies that you need like, dividers, special folders to keep your work in, or even a planner; those helped me out a lot. If you’re not managing your time then you’re definitely going to struggle a little bit. Here’s some tips try not to spend so much time on things, break your work down into sections, make sure you’re taking necessary breaks that way you’re not overwhelming yourself with work, and grab yourself a planner.

To sum up my personality it would be Cher Horowitz:
