6. What is the worst experience you’ve had, and what did you learn from it to make you a better person.
The worst experience for me was being put out the house at the age of 17 with an infant son. It taught me that you can’t always depend on family. You have to learn to make away for yourself. It hurt me not having the knowledge or education I needed to get a job or even supplying my son with his needs. And what made me a better person, knowing that I have the strength to accomplish all of the goals that I set out for and that I know I’m a good person.
