"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would have no talent left in me and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" Erma Bombeck said that and I've decided to live by it. I don't want to be normal, I want to be extrodinary. I have the will-power and intelligence to do anything I put my mind to and I'm now on a personal mission to live out loud. As a christian I want to show God to others through myself. As a student I want to work to help others in my future career. As a girl who's struggled with divorce & self-conciousness, I want to inspire girls like me. <3
