I believe that failure isn't achieved when you don’t reach a goal, but by allowing the outcome of not achieving a goal to make you feel as though you have failed. Failure doesn't occur when a goal isn't achieved, but rather when one allows his or her spirit to be broken by life and simply stops trying.

I say that one day soon the hardships in and of my life shall make me very fortunate and it shall inspire the world. This is an autobiography about my life. This is also an inspirational message to all people.

Self-Value: The Story of Me is an eye-opening, poignant, often hilarious story that explores my 12 years of childhood homelessness, juvenile delinquency, and success. My life story is about a mother and son in peril who find serenity through their faith. In sharing my story, I highlight many problems society is faced with today such as domestic violence, illiteracy, bullying, low self-esteem, depression, and suicide. My story resonates with people fighting against those conditions and similar life experiences. This account of grand proportion has its fair share of humor, inspiration, suspense, betrayal, crime, sex, and romance.

I am a by-product of all that is least desired and overlooked. When I was seven, I was functioning as an adult. By the time I was 12, I was on my own and raised myself from that time forward. I grew up in a low-income community and was homeless most of my childhood. I believe that practicing self-value can lead to life improvement.
