A woman who immigrated from Venezuela at 19 describes two years of extreme poverty, sleeping in her Prius during winter and relying on church assistance for food. She credits her faith in God with giving her the strength to survive, and says her current success came directly from those trials.
Chapters
I was the girl that never felt confident. I was the girl that never felt enough. I've always felt that I needed to help and please people. My life has been really, really, really hard. All of the success that I have today, it started somewhere. I am from Venezuela. I immigrated to the United states. I was 19 years old and I didn't have money to eat for two years. I would just eat whatever God will provide or whatever church will help me with my amazing Prius that I love so much. That's what I would sleep sometimes in the middle of winter. So yes, I haven't had it easy, but that doesn't mean that I didn't overcome everything. I was always ful because I had a God and Jesus inside of me and he gave me all the strength that I needed.
