Entering The Entrepreneur Universe


I have found myself sticking to one goal since graduation of high school; Successfully launching a business. I have done that twice in a row. First was my Photography Business "Joskie Photography" , then I launched "Joskie Fantasia Entertainment"; This is my website name, which incorporates Photography, Event Planning, Concierge Services, Night Life Events, and new Fashion Designers, Djs, Hair Stylists, and even Makeup Artists. I got a great amount of interest and now I will use this traffic for my advantage as I have done with before. I have not pulled down my website but have pulled away many aspects of it and returned it to its original form. This will make it easier for me to recreate my site. 

I have also successfully gotten the rank of a professional photographer as I joined to travel on tour with Model Productions around the United States. This gave my Company "Joskie Photography" a huge boost around the nation. I have had many opportunities to go with this agency again but I have found it to be very concerning to my education. Since on tour I would not be able to go through college and that is my goal through 2016; to graduate with Business Administration and Computer Engineer Degree. I wont stop there though I will also exceed the "Midway Degree" (as i like to call it) and hopefully acquire my Masters Degree in both my major and minor.


Speaking roughly I am only 21 years of age and have succeeded in becoming well known for my determination and lack of the words "Give Up" in my vocabulary. I am very proud of myself and thank all that have helped me get to where I am. I have never stepped on anyone to get to where I am, neither have I pushed anyone away who has needed help. Without you guys I wouldn't be here. 

I do have to give my parents the pat on the back and thanks for the bringing up how they did. Because without them I would not of have even gotten close to where I am today. They pushed me to excel in every sport I joined, every class from elementary to college, and have greatly influenced my life from choosing any subject I wanted to pursue to my final choice now.

I'm ecstatic, its almost 6 o'clock in the evening and I have finished all of my days work on my calender and now I can go relax, read a book, or work on some more work that I would finish in the morning. I will surely begin finishing the next days work and continue on with that spree for the next and so on. I only have about 2 hours and 30 minutes till I have to sleep, Yes I sleep at 8:30, since I wake up before dawn. 

So till next time,

The New Me "Ocean View High school!"

Hey sorry guys for not writing for a while i have been very busy with work any my new construction of my website, i have been thinking about a lot of things and have not been really having the time to change anything in my life but today was the first day i felt like everything i do is going to change my future for the better for sure. 

So to my story ended at myself going into High School. Well to begin i went to WOW Week at the beginning of the year. WOW stands for "Week Of Welcome". This week to be honest was an amazing week, and through every year of my attendance in Ocean View High School I attended the WOW Week and congratulated the new freshmen into our school and congratulating them for making it this far. From the first day i attended OVHS i felt home, i felt like no day will be better, but i was wrong through the days after days i began to find out that i could loose myself in the High school territory if i wasn't careful. 

Anyways i went through every year trying to fit in, First year i Joined the OVHS Fashion Club and helped form its base. I also Joined Choir, PAL (Peer Assistance Leadership) and began my wrestling Career. RIP Coach Rollins 11-30-2012, May god rest your soul on the gold of medals and wear the golden of singlets. Peace Be Upon You. I will Be giving Coach Rollins a blog later as soon as i gather the courage to speak my mind about him. But in full disclosure, I loved him very much, I appreciated how hard he pushed me, Yes He was an ass hole to me sometimes, but i could never find a coach that pushed me as much as he did even in college. 

So lets move on to my sophomore year before i begin to cry. I took the responsibility of the unofficial Vice President/ Secretary of the Fashion Club even though there was someone there, i did everything i could to show what i knew and that i deserve the role of president. I also kept on my wrestling, PAL and choir career through my sophomore year. I Joined the film and drama club, and began going to GSA, and MSA.  But my real focus laid on Choir, Fashion Club, and My Wrestling, All Aside of my school work. I went through my Sophomore year very fast. And Finally Found the true essence of my existence. It Was to Help People. My Sophomore year ended right after i started i began working with Model Production as a 16 year old Intern. Summer was amazing with the Fun Friends i made and seen so many talents and models. 

My Junior Year I Wrestled for the beginning of the year then stopped. I needed to focus on my school work. I was unable to Do choir in the first semester but went in after. I found myself the vice President of the Fashion Club and on my way to become the fashion club president for my senior year. But to not get ahead of myself i worked hard to keep my name going. Every fashion show we did was ecstatically amazing. it was FABULOUS and the clothing was gorgeous. so anyways i began to also end my career in the drama and film club as well as pal. school and work and fashion club and choir took up most of my time other than my friends. But I made time sometimes to come watch the Drama Clubs skits.  My Junior Year ended in myself and the rest of the fashion club after the fashion show at the end of the year we all voted on who would be the next years president i was the winner against my vice president winner PHI. He is a fabulous man, He knows exactly what the clothes he needs, he is a fashion designer and he can never get the clothing designs done before the fashion show. they all have to be done last minute. but he is a genius, without a doubt. Only problem is that he was still a sophomore so the vice presidency was taken my Cerise Castle. Oh My Gosh, She is FABULOUS. And i mean it, she is one of the greatest women i have ever met aside from my best friends

My senior year was just full of chaos, Senior activities and the GAY bashing that was just over whelming on me and all my fellow friends that were in fashion club. As if fashion is only for women. stupid full headed ignorant ass holes. but anyways I Got fed up, almost got kicked out of school for it, kept it on the down low from my parents so i don't get in trouble. Finally choir got to sing more and more over the year, sang my last song with the choir and cried after. MISS YOU GUYS A LOT BY THE WAY.  OVHS CHOIR is like a family so if you ever choose it, you have chosen well. No one cares who you are where you come from as long as you are able to express yourself through music. and Mr combs you are a great choir director. But RS. HARVEY I love you forever, you were the best choir teacher a kid could ever have. and man all the friends i have made over the years. wow. Huge smiles on my face just thinking about it.  

So through my senior year i pushed my Junior Vice President second Nominee, Cerise Castle to the end of the world and back making sure she would be able to take over the club as president the year after i was gone. Which she did a fabulous job as phi was her assistant and later on he took over the presidency as she graduated after me. I am so proud to say i had some contribution to that. My parents and Family came to my last fashion show of the year in the spring, I almost cried just knowing that they made it in time and just to see me. I was speechless. 

So there is a huge factor of my senior year i cannot forget to mention, My AMAZING classmates of 2010 are not homophobic or something. I am Muslim and I'm not homophobic so there must be wrong here on their end. But anyways So We had an assembly for the senior day thing. And we had questions of guys vs girls but switched questions to see gender  war winners as every year for generations have been done.  So question after question guys answer and girls answer, and the guys begin loosing, so when asked a question none of the guys knew, a group of the guys chose to discriminate against a specific group and said "where the faggots at". This word is such a hurtful word as the word "Nigger" to African Americans. or "Beaner" to Hispanics, or "Chink" to Orientals, and i can keep going on and on and it includes the "terrorist" to an Arab individual just because he is from a place in the middle east. 

Well to be honest i was furious that no one of the adults that were there including the securities and the activities director didn't do anything. so that same day i went to the office and filed an appointment with the vice principle and then the principle as well. and i told him the story, and wrote a two page letter to him as well explaining everything and how disgusting it is that our own high school staff did not intrude and bring those who said that to justice. but understanding the problem and its urgency i asked to be notified in class. So i was pulled out of class and was sitting with the Vice principle, the activities director, and my teacher of choice that i trusted to be witness. Anyways to end this little long story, I won the argument, and the gender war was canceled for the year that passed after me. I felt that i left a real footprint into the school. and i believe that things will be easier now that people are being educated about all the people not just one group of individuals.


Then I graduated. The END 

Good Night will write more as soon as possible promise

My Story continued....

Good Morning everyone, Joskie Here

Yesterday I wrote about the beginning of my life up till I came to the United States, California to be precise and moved into our first house in Huntington Beach, CA. I recommend reading my first post before reading this one. So you can be up to speed.

My BFFLAEAE: Taylor Maxson
She has been there since the very beginning. She was my first friend in the states. Her grandma was our neighbor, and like family to me. I remember the first day I met them. My family was just moving in, it was still summer so there was no school.

As we were moving in, I met Taylor; She was a skinny little girl, with a sweet voice and a beautiful smile. I was down stairs picking up small bags that we were moving up stairs and I hear. "hi I'm Taylor, Need some help? What's your name?". Of coarse I replied, "no thanks, and my name is Joe". "can you play?" she asked. "let me ask" I replied with a smile. So I asked my parents and they said yes, after meeting her grandma. So she runs up stairs and gets her grandma.  They meet, and me and Taylor sneak off and go play as they keep talking. Keep in mind she is 8 years old as well.

We became best friends very easily, we hung out every day, from morning till night. We went Camping in the yard, played mom and dad, played twister, and danced our feet off. As the summer ended, we went to the same elementary school; College View Elementary. We walked to the bus together, but she was in the after school Kids Club. It was like best friends for life from the first year we were friends. We began to hang out less and less as time went by, I made new friends that were boys, so she tagged along when she could. But we still are very close. I made some friends during my elementary school years; but Ryan Zeithing was one of my closest of guy friends. But most friendships were during my Middle School Years; I went to Spring View Middle School. My friends were Duy Tran, Jimmy Vu, Cody Lund, Kris Lenderman, Philip Botros, Mark Botros, Samer Ibrahim, and a many others as well. Most lived close to me. But in the end of middle school Taylor moved away to her dads. I was very sad but I got to see her a lot.

My Long lost Friend: Ryan Zeithing. That is pretty much the end of it. We were great friends, really close, then he disappeared  changed, then came back again with the roller coaster friendship then disappear again, came back and now i have no idea what he is doing with his life at all. I hate to loose friends.

"friends come and go, family will always be there".

This isn't what I believe, I believe family can go away, but you always have some love for them. Friends can be there and go but the true friends that are meant to be your friends, will come back or stay in your life forever. That is my belief on the subject.

Now back to my story,

Ocean View High school! This school changed me, it brought me to see who i really am, I cant believe that the people I befriended are still in my life. Most people say that once you have graduated you loose touch, well that  not true.

I'll write more tomorrow, for now goodnight.

Hey everyone, Welcome to Joskie's Words

Dear Readers, My name is Joe Youssef


I have been alive for 20 almost 21 years. Born on the 21st of March, I am the beginning of Aries. I was born in Cairo the city heart of Egypt. My family originates from two places, Turkey and Egypt. I have never been to Turkey, But have heard many things from my great grandmother. My Father has a Bachelors Degree in Engineering. Also my Mother has a Bachelors Degree in Business. I was born into the Fashion and Business because my mother owned a factory. She Designed and manufactured Wedding Dresses that were sold for quite amount of money. She was my inspiration to go into Fashion and Business later on in the years. My Father was the Brains of the operation in co-ownership of the Company. As I began to grow up my family pushed me to excel in everything. My father was a role model in the math subject in my later years with the background of Engineering. I was like a calculator when I was young. And my mother was my role model in English to perfect my languages since she knows French and my father knows German. I had to be Bilingual.

When my mother enrolled me in modeling, with her friend Chauntelle, a greatly well known French Fashion Designer growing her business in Egypt. Keep in mind I never wore anything that was not labeled in a brand name. My family had a fashion company, so I had to represent them well. Anyway as a young model, only 3 years of age I became accustomed to the fast changing of outfits, the heavy runway lights, the catwalk, and most of all the cheering when I walked down the runway. During some shows I was picked up and walked to bring the family portrayal as a young girl walks hand in hand with her father. But most of the time I was alone with spotters on each side of the runway making sure I would not fall off (never happened). I have to hand it to my mom though, most children would be terrified to go up on there, I wasn't and that was because of her.

Things were fun while they lasted, I modeled for about 4 years until I moved to the united states. I was only about 7 years old. My father had a transfer here for work and I remember the first few days we came here. From Universal Studios to Disney Land to Disney California Adventures, to Knotts Berry Farm and to a few others I don't remember. Oh yes I almost forgot. I have a sister, she is 2 years older than me. Her name is Lora.

Best sister I could ever have. She is gorgeous, generous, understanding, loving, caring, and she is without a doubt manipulative. I love you sis. Now that we are older we live our separate lives, so we don't get to see each other as I would hope. So why did I call her manipulative? Well its because as a woman she wants to get what she wants, she wants this and that. But the better word for her behavior is Clever. She is very clever to get what she wants. and she will get what she wants eventually, and you wont even realize it. Unless its that noticeable. But "the world goes round and doesn't wait for anyone" so she cant wait for life to throw something her way she goes after it. and that I respect that so much.

Now as I was saying when I came to the United States when I was young. I don't really remember many events that happened while we were living in the hotel till we found a place to move into. But once we found a house, I remember my neighbor and her granddaughter "Taylor Maxson". She later became my BFFLAEAE{Best Friend For Life And Ever And Ever}. But that is a story for another day like tomorrow Good Night....
