I Am Stronger Because of All I've Been Through

Well starting from birth I was born 3 months early and for a brief moment I didn't make it (my mother's intuition told her that something was wrong and a blonde women saved my life. My mother was convinced it was an angel that saved me that day. But I won't go into detail about that story)

At a young age my parents divorced. I was young enough that I didn't quite understood what it meant but old enough to feel that something was wrong. My dad was suffering from mental illness that made the family dynamics challenging. Without a father figure present, it was difficult and different.

When I reached grade 2, my teacher noticed that I was a slower learner. I was emitted into a small class of 5-10 students who had various learning disabilities. An environment where our teacher could have one on one time with us and help us with out learning. I was in such a classroom from grade 2-8. During those years I had teachers and parents that told me that I wasn't smart enough to pursue "advance" kind of careers and should stick with something "simple". But with the help of my mother, my homeroom teacher and the principal, I was able to accomplish many things and prove to others that just because a child has a learning disability, it does not make them incapable to do tasks that others can do.

In high school I spent everyday studying and working hard to prove to others that I was a bright child and boy did I show them alright! I got accepted into all the universities I applied for, received some scholarships and now almost done my undergraduate program.

I have been through many obstacles in life and no matter what people say to bring me down, I shall continue to rise up even stronger. I am the strong young lady that I am today because of the life experiences I had to deal with. Weirdly enough, I wouldn't have changed anything different.

I have my goals set and I am ready to blow the competition away!
