Life full of challenges
The trigger is pulled and a gun sounds. Corey Dauphine has heard this bang before, ringing out in a government-housing complex. On a warm Saturday evening in May, it begins the Boys' 5A 200-meter dash at the UIL State Track Meet in Austin. The Port Arthur Memorial junior quickly drops to fourth following a lackluster start. But Dauphine has come to learn that a poor beginning does not dictate a poor end. He comes off the race's only turn and into the homestretch. "When I run I just think about life," Dauphine said. "Whenever I get on the straightaway I just think I have to make something of myself." The 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame of the 2014 Boys Track and Field Super Gold MVP, presented by Howell Furniture, a mountain of muscle and gifted ability, makes its move. Dauphine comes from behind to win the race in 20.76 seconds, a personal best. The crowd roars as Dauphine crosses the finish line. Some are parents of other athletes. Dauphine wishes he could have that kind of normalcy –something as simple as having his folks come watch him in his proudest moment. His father is in prison. His mother is hampered by chronic seizures, which keep her from traveling and a job. Following the medal ceremony and fanfare, the Memorial track team heads to Whataburger for a celebratory meal.Between a burger and fries, Dauphine gets a call from his mother, Joyce Kirk. She wants to congratulate him, but has some news.

How I Utilized Lock-Down As A Side-Hustle
1500 dollars is not a great amount, but still, it was a huge sum for my pandemic-hit wallet. The lockdown was unparalleled in its ways. It has turned everyone's life upside down. Almost everyone suffered a financial crunch due to Corona-Virus in one way or the other. Except those who had a government job or some other running business which was not affected.

When You are POWERFUL, there's nothing to PROVE
When you truly are powerful, there's nothing to prove. Such a simple statement yet the meaning behind it is somewhat complex. Have you ever heard someone exerting themselves by yelling their message, belittling others, reminding you of their title or demonstrating their importance by name dropping. These are all classic cases of someone who isn't!
