My life, like most others, has been full of a lot of trials and tribulations. I had a terrible and traumatic childhood (most of which I do not remember due to repressed memories and PTSD). I was abused-sexually, physically and emotionally-until I was about 16. I never let this define me in negative ways; I used these experiences to learn how to persevere despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
In my adulthood, I had a major setback that caused me to have to basically start all over. I hated at the time that I had to go through that, and I regretted the things I did. However, the saying that everything happens for a reason is so very true. If that hadn’t happened, I would never have met my fiancée, so there is the silver lining to that particular cloud. You can never truly appreciate the good things in life if you do not experience the bad.
So, I am most proud of my perseverance and ability to overcome many obstacles and come through it all stronger and better than I was before. Never stop trying! Never give up!
