About Me

I’m a simple person who enjoys the simple things in life; the things that money can’t buy. I’m a 22-year-old single mother who is currently pursuing a degree in Marketing. I have my own place, rent, bills, and responsibilities. I work my a** off to provide for my son and give him the things that I’ve never had. I’m the type of person who’ll give someone the shirt off my back. People always seem to take me for granted. I realize that u really can’t count on anyone in this crazy world. People are too caught on themselves, money, and material things now a days; they could care less about anyone else. I don’t have to say that I’m a real person, because real recognizes real. The realest person I’ve ever met was my grandma who passed on May 18, 2006. I’m proud to say I got my heart from her. She was they type of person who hated to see someone struggle and she would give someone her last. I’ve been through my share of struggles. I’ve had my share of heartache. I’ve cried many tears and life is somewhat hard. I have a long journey ahead of me, but God is with me ever step of the way. God says I’m more for u then the whole world against u. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. These are the verses that keep me strong.Header Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!
