So this is, I suppose, where I am to tell you my story, or something to the effect of who I am today and what key points I feel brought me here..
Here go my best efforts to do so. Will add to as I find pieces of myself that qualify.
First and foremost, I am a mother to three beautiful children. My eldest is a young lady now, born in 2004. In 2010, I bore twin boys. I am the primary parent for all three children. My daughters father has been gone since she was about a year old and I have raised her mainly alone, though with a support system I've built through such time. My boys father involves himself regularly with his children. They drive me insane daily, but I wouldn't trade it all in for anything. |
But the struggle is real.
Through my life before kids and within my experiences since becoming a mother, I have experienced poverty on a multitude of levels. I am not a success by many peoples standards, but I have succeeded many times when I seemed, and felt, destined to fail. I feel like at this point in my life I want to focus on using the skills I have built to help create change, strength, and understanding within my community. So I am trying in the little ways I can to do so, while learning more about myself, and raising my family.
