  • Uphill by Jemele Hill

    Book: Uphill

    Author: Jemele Hill

    By: Cece Hymes

    I got a chance to read this book about Jemele Hill about her life and how she got to where she is today. I didn’t know much about who she was. I have seen her a couple of times on social media. I love reading people’s bio and learning about their life. What interests me about her is that she was in journalism and sports.

    I am a journalist and getting more into sports. So I wanted to get to know more about her story. The book was very interesting. She went through a lot growing up and watching her parents go through hard times. I like that she speaks her mind freely. She doesn’t fake it for anyone. She always liked to write but never thought she would be into writing for a living. She has been on ESPN and other positions as a reporter.

    We all go through things growing up and it’s not where you have been but it’s where you are going and what you decide to change in your life. I am glad she didn’t let her childhood put her in a bad place and that she was aware and kept going in life. This book was great and now that I know more about her life and journey, she has gained a fan with me. I did take some notes and tips on growing and getting more involved with sports and events.

    Make sure to check the book out and let me know what you think.

    Q. The stupidest thing you ever did?

    One day someone broke into my house and to make a long story short we got to tussling and stuff. He ran out the side door and I chased him. Looking back, that was the stupidest thing I ever did. I could have gotten hurt or killed. I don’t know what made me chase him. Just glad things weren’t worse.

    Q. The story behind the last text you sent?

    The last text I sent out was me sharing that I met my goal on Good Reads. I am a bookworm. I love reading and this year’s goal was for me to read 50 books this year. It is only August and I have met my goal already. I can only Imagine what it will be at the end of the year. None of these books are audio books that I listen to. I have read all these books. This has been a passion for me for years.

    Q. Traffic

    This traffic in Atlanta is horrible. It’s overpopulated and you will be in traffic for hours. One day I was leaving my friend’s house and on 285 a Truck had an accident and covered all the lanes. I literally had to sit in that traffic until 7 AM. It was horrible. I was thankful I had a full tank of gas. It was cold that night. I put my car in park and I dozed off and on. I had to call off work that day for not getting any sleep. Can you Imagine being stuck in traffic for over 5 hrs.? All I can say is Atlanta traffic is horrible.

    That’s my story, tell me yours. Post below or Join Cece Challenges on Facebook.

    Q. A Neighbor

    Let me tell you about a neighbor I had. So, when I first moved into this home the neighbor introduced himself and told me that a person that lived here some years ago passed away outside cutting grass. Then said sometimes people say they would see the man cutting the grass. So basically, I was welcomed into the neighborhood like this. I don’t know why he would tell me that. So sometimes when I was in the house If I heard something I want that of the spirit or some would call it a ghost.

    I became suspicious of the neighbor because he was the police in the neighborhood. When I say that I mean he watches everything and reports it. This neighbor took a picture of my car tag and ran it to see if I had anything on me. Now that’s crazy another person told me that’s what the neighbor told them but that’s not it. I had to just keep my distance and just mind my business. It’s crazy how people do things. That is my story about a neighbor. Make sure to pay attention to your surrounding people just not right these days.
