What are you most proud of in your life?
One of the greatest things in my life is that I stand in the gap for others. It can be children but adults as well. Being a voice for those that can’t speak out for themselves. I was that child that couldn’t defend myself from the trauma’s in my life. When I got out of that situation I made a promise to myself that I would speak out for those that had no voice.
It’s not an easy task to do in fact people who know me know that I hate conflict. I’ve had to stand alone many times defending children from abuse, because people don’t want to stand up to what is happening. People were worried about losing their jobs. So they stood and watched and never said a word. I wondered how those people slept at night.
God has given me a heart that understands and knows first hand what that pain feels like. I see the children that are picked on or sit by themselves hoping that a hole would just suck them up. I notice the children that walk with their heads down. They feel defeat often.
I have been able to make a difference in the school I work at. I have developed relationships with children that people don’t understand. Those are the same children who come up to me in the playground and give me a massive hug everyday they see me. That is worth so much more than anything else. ❤️
