Y’all gotta push until something happen, keep your focus, strive for what you want, keep ya head up and put God first. That’s what I’m now doing, because a person is the product of their own thoughts and right now, today, I just wanna be happy and hopeful. So today I can say I have thoughts that are happy and hopeful, because getting out of there I say “today I will make a difference,” and I’m gonna make a difference. I got to be an inspiration for my children.
