Crossroads

I sit here and think to myself, "How far have I come in life?"

Should I believe what people say...that I have not achieved anything?

I have lived my life to the best of my knowledge. I have loved, cried, laughed, and educated myself.
I beat the odds that were against me...
Young, teenage mom living in the ghetto...no high school degree...

Yet I found myself and said, "I will not be a stereotype. I will succeed."

I followed my dreams and it has brought me this far...
Now I'm faced with another crossroad in my life.
But this time, the choices are not as easy as they were 10 years ago. There is so much more at stake.

I have to find the strength I once had 10 years ago.
I know it is somewhere deep within...

I will succeed...
