Statistics mean nothing when it comes to dreaming. You took your past experiences and overcame them. Making your life what it is now is what I would call achieving the dream.
A blessed life is a good life. Enjoy what you have worked for and earned!
My hat is off to you. I went through a period when I was young that led me to living on the streets. It gives you a certain respect for life and God and His hand in human affairs and blessings that you will never understand if you have always lived a life of plenty without any real hardships. The problem with our current leadership is that most (not all) have not had enough hardship to have developed empathy for their fellow man. God bless you for sharing your story.
God bless you. Yours is a story which should inspire everyone.
That is one amazing tale. It left me exhausted. Talk about overcoming the odds!
Amazing story.
We had nothing but loving parents when we got here from Cuba. The clothes on our backs. Uphill climb but not as steep as what you and your sibs. God bless you all.
