      Special Thanks

      I extend a special thanks to Foster Care to Success, the Educational Training Voucher, and Glory Scholarships for giving their selfless acts of love, support, and funding. Thank you for traveling my journey to higher education and achievement. To you, I am forever grateful.

      Some people I also want to thank are Laura Adkins, Tina Raheem, Mary Imlar, Teresa Poulos, Jill Riley, Teresa Headly, Anita Jackson, Martha Mcglone, and Liesta Walker. You are the strong women throughout my life who have taught me to love myself. You all have shown me what a true confident woman, who believes in herself, looks like. With your help and support, I am the strong woman I am today. Thank you for believing in me and helping me to love myself!

      Thank you to Julie Hopper for all the support and the countless hours you have revised this book!

      There are so many to thank. You know who you are. Thank you all!

      I smile when you sing.

      I smile when you make me laugh.

      I smile when you give an encouraging word.

      I smile when you are sarcastic.
