Fighting Abuse, Speaking Out To Help Save Lives-www.survivorinlife.com

About Me

My name is Jenna and I live on Eglin AFB in Florida. Growing up, I went through alot of abuse-emotional, physical, and psychological-from my parents. I had to deal with things alone because I had no one to turn to during those times. No one to reach out a hand to me and tell me it was all going to be ok. I've been a cutter since I was 13, although I am taking the steps to break that habit. I also occasionally go through anxiety attacks as well. My goal in life is to help others out who are facing difficult times and have gone through hard times in life. No one should have to go through things alone. I want to help others fight the obstacles in their life and be successful. I just want others to know that they are not alone, that there are others out there who understand and can relate to what they are facing. Life holds alot of opportunities. But we must be willing to go through the open door and follow our destiny. There is a reason why each of us is here and we all have a special calling and purpose in life. I want to help people get past those barriers in life and help them break free from the pain they feel. This is actually my secondary profile; I created it to specifically help others and use it as a place where people can come if they need someone to talk to about hard times they are going through. Feel free to message me anytime about anything, I don't mind for I am always here to listen. I keep everything confidential. My yahoo screen name is tiger22_85 and my MSN screen name is [email protected]. I believe that we can all make a difference in the lives of others and that we can rise above the obstacles in our lives. If we just fight together, then we can overcome anything. Also we can be a light to others who are trapped in dark places in their own lives.
My personal profile is www.myspace.com/tiger2285, Fighter and Survivor In Life, in case any of you want to add that as well or check it out. I have two groups that I started on myspace. One is Inspiration and Motivation For Life. The other one is called Survivors United and the link for that one is www.groups.myspace.com/risingabove. Feel free to join them. I dont really use this profile all that much. It's just up for support. I use my personal one and author one more. I just wrote a book called Taking My Life Back: Poems From The Healing Heart Of An Abuse Survivor. My book profile is www.myspace.com/survivorinlife. But I dont leave comments from this profile. I mainly use my book and personal profile to communicate with people.

My Interests

helping others out and letting them know that they are not alone in what they go through, that there are other people out there who understand and can relate to things they've been through and who care about them and what they go through
Your HiddenTalent
You have the power to persuade and influence others.
You're the type of person who can turn a whole room around.
The potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don't abuse it.
Always remember, you have a lot more power over people than you might think!
You Have Low Self Esteem 24% of theTime
Generally, you feel pretty darn great about who you are, even when you mess up or fail.
Occasionally, a huge setback will make you question yourself, but you pick yourself up quickly. How isYour Self Esteem?

I'd like to meet:

inspiring and motivating people who are trying to make it in life and who are fighting to overcome obstacles, people who don't give up but hold on to hope that things get better, that there is light at the end of the tunnel, people who just need someone to talk to and who have been through tough times themselves, survivors and fighters in life basically



“Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.” Booker T. Washington
