"Today, by the grace of God, I have decided to embark on a journey to tell my story. The story I hope could inspire other girls, and to share the trials that I know many others face each day. My Faith has led me to heal, and also to rejoice even in my sufferings because they have built endurance and perseverance in my life. I've learned to trust and be patient and know that if we have love, we can conquer anything. I choose today, not to give up on life, but a hope for a greater future, knowing that you could achieve all things if you set your mind to it, I've learned not to live life in fear, but to live a life filled with faith, and this faith has given me hope for the future."
