I can tell you I didn't feel good when I could not articulate properly. Getting my GED was important and I want other women to feel that. ↗

One day I realized that I wasn't getting anywhere by blaming other people for my circumstances. I finally understood: Even if you feel someone has wronged you or owes you something, no one is going to give you anything for free. ↗
