well when friends say one day i wanna travel the world. i say things like whats stopping you from doing it know and if they say no money. i say that dose not mean you cant plan the trip now and start saving money according to what you plan on doing in each location etc things like that and it motivates them to do what they wanna do,
My school said I'd be in juvenile detention by the time I was 16. When my parents decided to homeschool me, my Dad's coworkers figured I'd never get grade 12. I'm 24, never been arrested, and going to university, having gotten 1800 on the SAT.
woow that's great im so happy for you and that just proves you didn't allow the limitations others set for you to define or hinder the person you became. that's awesome
Well I stuck with grad school for 5 years because I'm not a quitter until I realized I was never going to get my degree due to an incompetent advisor who also stole my ideas. I was strong enough to walk away and then got another degree. Perseverance and hard work is what I'm about.
My teachers in elementary school thought that I would never amount to anything. They said that I was slow and lacked social skills. I'm going to graduate with a college degree in May. I am president of a university sponsored organization, along with having two internships, being fluent in four languages, and having a job where I have to communicate a lot (so much for "lack of social skills). I have the best friends that I could ask for in this life. I wanted to prove to the world that I was worth something, and voila...here I am.
I have been homeless, lost family and friends, lost jobs, been physically scarred, beaten and stolen from...all due to me being gay. And yet, I'm still standing with a good job, a modest but lovely home and a much better life than the one I started out with. So I suppose my perseverance to rise above the abuse and oppression and make something of myself rather than lying down and accepting defeat would be the one thing I would choose. I am a fighter.
I grew up on the "hood", on government food, and went to Detroit Public Schools. Also I was homeless at 23 for being gay and was told without God's blessing my "lifestyle" would lead to me being lonely and nothing. I'm 26, have a college degree, have an amazing career, and am beyond financially stable. I have many friends and the most amazing "wife" anyone could wish.
FROZEN. thanks for shearing and wow thanks for shearing the wonderful person you are despite what you went through ---------- Post added 19th Feb 2014 at 12:27 PM ---------- thats awsome
