I wrote this book because I wanted to tell my story. I wrote this book because I wanted to share my experiences and what I’ve learned from living my days. I wrote this book because I wanted to help those who did not get the kind of opportunities I got in life – for those who did not perceive hardship the way I did. I learned from my struggles and challenges, and with time I learned to appreciate and be grateful for both the good and the bad. It took some time, but I eventually came to realize how crucial the pain had been for my journey and how much it had shaped me and helped me grow.
