“The Power of Self-Worth” It was the summer of 2001 and I had lost all sense of personal identity and value.

"Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on the community of persons working together"‚ these few words by Paul Ryan come to mind when I consider my family‚ my community and the environment around me.

The little things in life can make the biggest differences. Those small words of encouragement‚ those small praises‚ can make a difference in someone’s life. Each word of encouragement you give is like a beacon of hope in an ocean of despair. This hope can give courage during hardships.

The sweat poured down my body. I knew I had to give everything in this moment. Right here right now soaked and drained. Every breath I take in I realize I am overcoming everything.
