Against the odds

 At age 6 my parents got divorced, rarely ever saw my dad again, he never payed chilld support. Lived with a hard working,struggling but very loving mom. At age 13 she remarried. By age 16 I was a highschool cheerleader who liked to party and my mom and step dad moved and I moved in with my older sister and her family so I could stay in my same highschool. At 17 my sister moved and I moved in with my brother. Had to quit cheerleading, worked two jobs to support myself and managed to barely graduate highschool. After graduation I moved a couple of hours away to go to college, and soon became preganant by my highschool boyfriend. Quit school and we moved back to our hometown. Sounds like a disaster? Today we have been married 12 years, have two beauitful children and own a business that employ's 40 people. We are Christians, that love God, our Children, and each other. I would not recommend this plan to anyone, there are much easier ways to do it! But I believe we are a success story that has triumphed against the odds.

Every challenge in life happens for a reason. As long as you learn the lesson, you can move forward. "Lesson repeated until lesson learned." Congratulations on your accomplishments! Success well earned is so much sweeter! You survived the cycle, GOAL.STRUGGLE.VICTORY.
