In the begining

Growing up we are asked what we would like to be. I can remember always saying that i wanted  to travel and see the world. I pictured myself as a jet setter leaving the life of misery and the ghetto behind. Now as a adult i see that there was a much different world then the one i had imagine. Life had not been as kind as i had hoped or would have liked it to be in order for me to reach my once obtainable goals. I had since had children, been married, been the victim of domestic violence and other gloomy misadventures. But never the less I am grateful for all that this life has thought me. Most of all i am bless to be able to say that I survived. Never in a million years did i think i would be a single mother of 3 struggling pay check to check just to survive off the crumbs of society. I had always hoped that things would get better and i am sure that they will but as for now i will relish the fact that i am surviving where so many others are failing.
