Inspired by circumstances
I'm inspired by my lack of finances and my circumstances, I'm the youngest of two and did everything I was supposed to. My mom was a single mother by 18 and by 21 she had 2. Sometimes we all face struggles by no fault if our own it was the circumstances causing everything to go wrong.
My mom struggled all my life to raise my brother and me now my bro is 21 and in the Military and although we struggled time and time again to survive with no dad and no child support, when it comes to my brother she didnt come up short.
Now I'm a Freshman in College trying to find my way. I refuse to allow these current circumstances get in my way. My major is Psychology so I'll get the chance to examine the mind and understand more on social behaviors of all kind. I like to help people and I pray that I will succeed, just take it 1 day at a time avoiding anything that impedes.
Please don't consider me a victim of my circumstances I'm a survivor instead, every day that I wake, open my eyes and hold up my head. I'm thankful for each and everyday. I just might be the one to change the world 1 day.
