5.
My first volunteer opportunity with Habitat for Humanity watching the veterans being so humble.

THE NOISE
You can't work, who is going to stay home and watch your baby?
How I responded:
We all have to make choices that will not be easy and there is always the risk of failing when we try to do what is best. Our struggles will always come with unspoken downfalls . In these times is where you build what I call Character. Never let anyone dictate what you can or can not do . FIND YOUR WAY... with no distractions - look for people who are willing to help and keep trying even if you start at the bottom and work your way up. WRITE ON YOUR WALL - I CAN MAKE IT... MAKE A LIST HOW.

As a kid growing up it was complicated, my parents were divorced and my mother struggled alot to keep a roof over our heads. There was not support or help of how to get ahead. I dropped out of school and attended GED, where I was inspired.
