Hi I'm currently in a hole I can admittedly say i dug myself into. Or rather let me be somewhat unnacountable and admit I did a portion of the digging and a portion of resembling a bystander while I allowed others to contribute towards my progress of depreciating my self worth, personal milestones, and proof of concept. "Started from the bottom now we here!"(Drake) I deeply enjoyed identifying with this quotation. From adopted, negated, outcasted, and isolated at a young age becoming a success story seemed FAR out of reach. I remember at 16 my first year on the streets was tough. Not only did it reflect in regards to my own self respect, confidence, and attitude it showed signs of affecting me mentally. Physical deteoration aside, my thought process underwent noticeable change. I became the novel underdog fighting for a come back, to a skeptical victim offended by the world around me. I kept my self morals values and attributes tucked close although undeniably faced turmoil within my struggle. Fast forward, and to spare the details and scattered reaccount of the past. I have successfully done it. I'm off the streets have a job I've held a job, obtained a place to comfortably rest my head, aquired an extremely tightknit circle of supportive aquaintences/friends(hand picked mind you) I'm happy. My daughter is born some years later and I can full heartedly exclaim Im happy! I've truely done it! And here comes the carpet ripping out from beneath this hard earned over due turn around, root-for-the underdog story… TO BE CONTINUED(B)
Keep your head up. You will success.
