A growing flower is what I call myself before joining You Can Begin Again, I was just soil waiting for my chance to grow. This program was the best thing that happened to me, it has turned me into a beautiful young lady. I’ve been through so much in my life, I needed so much support and guidance and I found that and so much more through Ms. Tina. She’s way more than my mentor she’s a mother figure. I never went without anything when she became apart of my life. There have been many times where we didn’t see eye to eye but deep down I knew she knew what was best for me. Whenever I was ready to give up she was always there to keep me focused. My favorite line was “this is doing too much” and she would say “no you are not doing enough”. She pushed me to the point where I didn’t hate her I appreciated her so much more. She was the water I needed to my soil and slowly I started growing. It was hard noy going to lie but I finished school and was blessed with a great job. The best thing out of it all, I built a mother daughter bond with Ms. Tina and my life is becoming more successful, and even though my time is up I know I’ll always have her by my side. I grew into a beautiful flower with the help of a little water. I can’t wait to see all the other beautiful flowers that You Can Begin Again has in process soon to be a successful garden full of all types of beautiful different flowers. We all can use a little water.

Thank you for never giving up on me, everything makes so much more sense. I am on my own little road to success.

Thank You
