How I Unlocked My Greatness!
I know sometimes you feel like giving up because life can get so hard. I’ve been there. I’ve literally hit my breaking point at least 500 times throughout my life. Bear with me now as I share a bit of a personal story with you which I hope will motivate you to keep pressing forward into greatness. I was once someone people were afraid of because if anyone messed with me, I’d deal with it however I felt they deserved to be dealt with. I was an absolute force to be reckoned with and of course I had all of anger built up inside of me because of all of the negative things that were going on at home. My mom was crazy and my dad left when I was about 8-years-old without even saying “bye.” I felt as if he wanted nothing to do with us but especially with me because for the longest time he was my hero, the one I looked to as Superman, the one who would calm my mom down wherever she would flip on me and call me all types of names that I would prefer not to say, so when my dad left I was left to deal with mother all alone. Every day, I would cry and ask God what in the world is my purpose here on Earth. I would also wonder if the world and everyone would be better off if I wasn’t alive and that’s why many times I would attempt to kill myself by cutting myself, laying down on train tracks, over using drugs, and smoking like a chimney.

Embrace the Things You Don't Like About Yourself!
Hello everyone. My name is Nelly James. I have been through many trying times where I have felt to just just give up and throw in the towel because I always felt as if I wasn't good enough for anybody, especially my family. I started smoking weed at the young age of nine years old as well as drinking just to see how I can get the spirit of loneliness to exit my body. I had no body.
