I have never been much of a leader. I have always been a bit shy and I never really liked the idea of telling anyone what to do. The only times I ever really take the role of leader is to my siblings or when I get stuck with working with a group that wants to procrastinate for school projects.

One of the main reasons I am trying so hard to go to college

This fear of failing, lack of confidence, being hurt, etcetera. Fear was my best friend for a long time. It was always there to pull me down, to deceive me, to make me blind enough not to realize what was out there. If there was one thing my mother always said was “Never let fear control you, you yourself should

to be resilient. At a point in time I was homeless. Imagine feeling lost and not knowing what to do or where to go, but still I had to fight through school. That was a very difficult time for me, I was in the ninth grade. Being in that position wasn't a good feeling, wondering from place to place like a drifter.
