I'll never forget that day I was laughed at and stared down in shame, the most embarrassing day of my life when I started college. I came from a low class family my father raised us on his own after our mother passed in 1986 I was only 2 years old I had a happy and memorable childhood and Dad did his very best to provide for my siblings and I. My first day of high school is one I'll never forget I had no shoes or a uniform but there was no way that I was going to miss out on my first day Dad got on the phone to one of my uncles and asked if I could borrow some pieces from my cousins so I at least had school wear on. He yelled out to me to grab the masking tape from the draw but before I had a chance to ask him what for I was handing him the tool to the death of my reputation and as I watched him tape my shoes up I could barely breath under such horror I was literally silenced what was he thinking??? He turns to me and says "Here Baby put these on for now till next week and I'll get you a new pair ok.." I didn't usually go against what I was told so I took the shoes and got ready for school and yes I wore them with my head high on my very first day of college. Something sparked in me that day when I realized just how much my Dad struggled to provide for us and It helped shape me into who I am today. I am me unique and outstanding, I do things my way without the worry of judgement from others and I make sure that I am happy in everything I do. I finished school after taking a year off to become a carer for my Dad who I lost when i was 16 It was an honor to graduate with my head held high and a brand new pair of shoes. Today I am living in Qld Australia with my love & our babies. I am a budding mum-preneur and business owner I have 3 beautiful children a son who flies above me sadly he passed when he was 2 years old. My princess who is 4 and quiet the little boss lady (Takes after her Mama :)) & our baby boy who has just learned to crawl at 9 months. I didn't let my past define me and the obstacles that are in my way I will move. you have to because only you should matter to YOU.
