I Am Proud Of Who I Am,

True Heros Are Made Of Hard Work And Integrity.

My Father Was Never Around. But I Glorified My Father, And I Was Always Daddy's Little Girl. He Was My First Soccer Coach.

I've Been Through A Lot Of Things In My Personal And Family Life. That Turned Me Into A Fighter. I Always Strive To Be The Best I Possibly Can.

My Father Showed Me So Much Love. He Showed My Brother So Much Love. He Just, He Had A Rough Life. You Know, He Grew Up In A Boys Home In The Bronx. He Didn't Really Know His Own Family. So I Couldn't Hold It Against Him That He Didn't Know How To Parent. He Didn't Know How To Be The Perfect Husband. But He Loved As Much As He Could.

She [my Mother] Struggled, Abusing Alcohol For Quite Some Time, And So We Just Kind Of Drifted Apart. I Went To College. But I Dedicate The Book To Her Because She Is The True Champion Of The Family. She Kept Our Family Together. She Provided Us With A Roof Over Our Head. She Always Worked.
