farewell 2011


first off, 2011 was a bit of a rough year for me (and my family). my moms store went bankrupt (she was forced to close it and was unemployed for a while) so i took a semester off from school and worked in a plastic factory full time in order to provide for my family. but these difficulties only made me stronger. because of the crap we went through i pushed more on God and completely trusted him. although at times id get frustrated and wanted to escape i thank the friends and loved ones that helped get me through those cruddy days. Because of this year i learned how to manage my money better: i not only paid for full rent, groceries, and phone bills that weren't  mine but i was able to save up and fully pay for a semester of university and that feels good. further more i realized if i were ever to move out i could survive on my own. i got warn out but never gave up. yes its been a year of hardships but it was also a huge year of growth and i see it as a blessing. i grew in faith, in wisdom, and in strength/endurance. 
so thanks 2011 for showing me what i'm truly made of,
 i now know i can overcome the obstacles you chuck at me.
