Who I'm thankful for
Who I am thankful for
Each day I wake up with motivation from my two kids. Their names are Julian & Ariyaé. They are who I am most thankful for. They look up to me each and every day. Without them I wouldn't go so hard to complete tasks people often said are impossible.
I recently graduated and I owe it all to them. They make me stronger as a man. People always have talked about me and doubted me. They told me I couldn't and wouldn't. For a moment I was starting to prove them right.
Eventually my kids came along and I wanted to set a great example for the two of them. I stayed in school. I stopped going to jail. I stopped hanging with the wrong crowd. Which basically changed me for the better. I morphed into the man they said I would never be.
With that being said, I am very thankful for my children. Without them I wouldnt be focused. For them I stayed determined. As long as they are by my side I can conquer the world. Thanks to them I proved those doubters and haters very wrong.
