About   (request update)
I feel like I'm an achiever because of my grace under fire and my fearlessness in life's new challenges despite my past. From being kidnapped at 2 years old to almost drawing at 4, my life has been very unconventional. Growing never made it any easier but I remained optimistic. After going through intense bullying in middle school which led to depression I remained hopeful for the wonders of high school. Going through experiences such as racial profiling and discrimination to more bullying I still managed to thrive.


Overall my life has not been conventional in any sense of the word but I've always been optimistic and made opportunities for myself and others. The crazy thing is the things I've been through still scare me but in a different way. They inspire me to push harder and inspire others. When I was 2 I was kidnapped by a family member and left in a Mobile, Alabama mall in a parking lot where I was found by my grandad. When I was 4 I almost drowned in the pool while on vacation with my other grandparents. When I was 13 I found out my sister wasn't my real sister and I watched her walk outta her life after 13 years. At 14 I lost my grandad to cancer( the one who found me in the parking lot). By the time I was 15 I lost both of my great grandparents on my dad's side who I'd known my whole life. Also at 13, I realized my Biological mom had walked outta my life at an early age and that my step-mom who I thought was my biological mom wasn't my birth mother. Having to endure what I've dealt with at such a young age has been so hard and been incredibly difficult to come back from. Through it all, I've had to learn to be strong and have faith. There were times where I wondered why I wasn't cutting myself or into drugs, I felt with everything I should be sad. But for some reason through all the bullying and hardships, I realized that I had a strong support system and was super blessed to be in the position I was in
