I survived child abuse, bullies, and dangerous encounters overseas thanks to faith, prayer, and the many positive role models who guided me along the way. I look back on my short life through a new lens now. Now I see that my greatest accomplishments are providing for my family and helping others. Faith in God helped me to overcome challenges in an adventure of a lifetime.”
