Nyalok commented on the post, Why Leadership Skills Are Important
Growing up I was the same way. I wanted to be my own person and not be told what to do. I’ve always wanted to be a leader and advocate for others and myself. Being able to lead and have those skills is something you should learn growing up because there are times throughout life where you are going to have to lead whether it be by yourself or with…Read More

Nyalok commented on the post, My Strong and Weak Points
I can relate to you because as you do I get lost in space all the time. When I’m having a conversation with someone my mind wanders farther out and the only thing I can say is “yeah” or “oh for real?”. As it is a weakness for you it is a weakness for me.
I’ve started to make conversations with people and avoid distractions. When I notice myself…Read More -

Dear Nyalok, I am delighted by your post, Tattoos on the Heart since you have a great way with words and inspiring others to read this book. Relating it to your own life gave it the right emotion needed to sway a reader towards a type of literature.
One sentence that you wrote that stood out to me was, “He gave them the choice of wanting to be helped and when they take that chance it helps me think on how I want to help people. From the start of elementary school I have always enjoyed helping people and that’s what I have always done and continue to do.” because I was able to relate to it since, I too, want to help others and believe becoming a teacher would be the right career path for me since I have always loved being there at the guidance of children.
Thank you for your writing, I look forward to seeing what you write next because you have an amazing way with your words. Thank you for your time and effort into this.Andrea

I would second this. The novel not only portrays a new reality but connects us to it. The novel is profound because it makes us realize that there is no shame in being different or holding a past. It is a matter of moving forward and being the change we want to see in the world.

I like this book too. It is probably one of my favorite books from theology class. It gives a world from a different perspective and some fascinating stories. Besides, all the divine interpretations behind each story, all of the stories reflect that human nature is good. Former gang members and rivals could get along and give empathy to each other, which is pretty cool.

Nyalok commented on the post, Mental Health
As being an athlete I agree with that because it’s something I do myself. Things I do I see it as normal so whenever it’s something that deserves a celebration in any sort of way I then don’t see that worthiness on doing so. It has affected my mental health because yes I am not loving myself and congratulating myself in the way I normally should I…Read More

I actually just had a coaching session on the importance of self-validation as it relates to mental health. Often, we see the things we do as normal and not worthy of praise so when it comes time to actually celebrating our wins, we don’t necessarily see the point in doing so. This affects our mental health because we are not loving ourselves in the way that we should be.

Dear Nyalok,
I am intrigued by your post, “Mental Health,” because our mind is a very powerful thing to us. In addition to this, if we do not take care of our mental health, it can lead to us having a negative outlook on life. Furthermore, it is very important for school life and our home life.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is, “To be able to maintain your mental health you need to value yourself and take care of yourself.” I think this is a powerful sentence because when you do not value yourself, you become less of value to other people as well.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because you talk about very important things. Also due to the fact that mental health is a very important subject and it should be talked about more.

I could not agree more with how much positivity it brings into your life. It is all too true. Father Boyle did so many amazing things with Homeboy industries. I also agree with you in that I wasn’t sure how interested I was going to be in this book yet after reading it again you see how much it touches you. Again I could not agree more with you.
