This is, ultimately, a story about faith. Trust in those who help you is important, but in the end, it matters where you place your faith. My faith never waivered, despite whatever I had to go through, because I always knew there was a reason for it. Other than that, there was always a talent I possessed. I had to work to get it back up to snuff, but I went above and beyond any of my expectations. I'll never stop thanking my brother for all of his love during my troubled time, my mother for teaching me how to be independent, and my dad for teaching me never to give up. Of course there were other people who added to the mix, but family comes before the rest, and I was blessed with a pretty good one. I have lots of uncles, and even an aunt who helped me by using old school values, helping me keep faith in the Lord, and help me with a little extra change when I needed it.
