For all the hardships and the tears, walking through gloomy days I do give thanks for now I realize these were the things that helped me grow into the person I am today .

The hard times that I went through were the building blocks in constructing my core, my soul — and it is stronger now . I have to just promise myself each day that I am smarter than I think , that I am braver than I believe, and stronger than I seem . I Can Do This!
