Standing up for what is right.

I have always stood up for what is right no matter how hard it is. I know this comes from how I was treated as a child. I had no voice and was unable to stand up for what I needed to. After I left that horrible place I grew up in and  worked on myself a lot, I vowed that I would be a voice for the voiceless. That’s what I’ve done. I’ve stood in the gap for others.

I hate confrontation but I hate more how people treat others. I have zero tolerance for it. I’ve had to make hard decisions where I was the only one who stood up for what was right. I was known as a trouble maker in my jobs. So standing up for what is right is a trouble maker wow. I have protected children and stood against the people that bullied them. I have stood up to bullies. When you get bullied a lot as a kid and are defenseless it’s time to stand for what you believe in.

I’ve had to challenge people and ask them how do you sleep at night knowing these things are going on. I’ve gone to the authorities and stood on my own to protect children. Recently I went for an interview and experienced a man who tried to intimate me and critized my answers. I’m not really sure why he was there. I then wasn’t sure how I was supposed to answer what I was asked. I was really upset when I left and I’m writing a letter to the board to tell them that it was very inappropriate how I was treated. If I don’t speak out then how many more people have experienced what I have. I’m sure I’m not the only person. That is not a place I want to live in. Nobody ever should feel intimidated by someone who thinks they have power over you.

I’m so glad God’s given me a voice to continue to speak out for what is wrong. Stand in the gap for others. Stand up for what is right in this world even if you have to do it on your own.
