Struggling together

I believe that life is not meant to be easy, it is more about managing the struggles we all have. Before I had my gallbladder and appendix removed, I lived in pain everyday. I feel so blessed that my pain was taken away, but it hurts to know that there is no cure for many people with disabilities like autism or epilepsy. My brother inspired me to be a better person and I will forever be thankful to him. My dad stepped out of my life a few years ago, it hurts, but my faith in God helps me get through the hard times. Life situations force us to make choices that may affect our families and loved ones. Nothing is more important than your family, the family you choose doesn’t have to be blood. Choose people that want to see you smile. I have been ignored and forgotten about throughout my childhood and it continues while trying to work with The County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Emotionally, I am very unstable, but I continue to get stronger mentally and physically. I am in college for my bachelor’s degree, because I am going to continue to better myself.
