This is my narrative. Within these pages, I share the account of my journey as a young girl hailing from a small town where the odds seemed insurmountable. Born to teenage parents and burdened with an absent father, I resolved to forge a life outside the tumult that enveloped me.

Composing this book not only provided me with a profound understanding of how I evolved into the person I am today but also prompted me to confront and comprehend the traumas of my childhood that often elude our awareness. Writing this book afforded me clarity and insight into my experiences.

I aspire that my story can serve as a wellspring of motivation for those who have traversed a similar path or encountered even greater hardships. It is vital to recognize that your origins do not dictate your destiny. Your path is ultimately defined by your own choices and determination."
