Chapters
But it was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me as I've had an opportunity to rewrite my stories as an adult I realized that if that hadn't happened my life would be completely different because I have the world's best parents and if I had been given everything I wouldn't have had to figure out how to do things on my own I had to pay for my contacts because I was made fun of for wearing those glasses that I described before so I had to figure out a way to do that. I used to be so mad that why can all my friends ask for whatever the heck they want they get it they turn 16 they get a car why can't I have that? But it was because that I was challenged it was because that I had incredible loving parents but sometimes the financial resources weren't there that I had to start to figure things out so I say that to share the story but also to encourage you.
