A True American for Change

Statistically, I was destined to live a life of poverty and disadvantage. I come from a lower class home, in which my single mother was not only on-and-off of food stamps, but I was forced to drop out of school prior to high school to support my family. I had no contact with my father while growing up, nor did I have the typical family support structure. I was a single unwed teenage mother, who worked two jobs and barely scrapped by. Through hard work and dedication, I went from a 7th-grade education to attending a private university for my undergraduate degree and I am currently pursuing my MBA. I am no longer in the lower class income bracket, but I have not forgotten where I came from. I always donate money to those in need, as well as my time. I care about the environment and have turned my household into the greenest it can be. I care about my children’s future and value system and try to provide them with a hate-free upbringing. Regardless of race, background, religion, or sexual orientation, I will not only be your friend, but will also support your social advancement. I served in our Armed Forces and strongly support our troops. I do not align myself with either political party, but I do however tend to be a liberal conservative. I am not here to make enemies. I am here to engage in conversations about what the often over looked Americans think is important and relevant.
