I have learned over the years that a person has a value, pride, and beauty. I was marry to young and had my children to young too. In the moment that I say yes, my fantasy life change, no more fairytales. My parents teach me that always went I was in trouble, that I have to pray to God every day and light candles, so it will not happen again.
I was a good girl, keep to myself, take care my children, go to church. But, this will not be enough for a person to humiliate you, put you down, have sex when he was drunk, and don’t respect you. Over the years I been going to school, and I learn to say STOP, I graduate with an Associate’s Degree in Early childhood and currently going to school for my Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood. I enjoy my women’s class this semester because it teaches me a lot. I learn that my life have rights, that I can love, and the most important thing, I will never say, Why it happen to me?
One of the articles that I read was “Word Warrior” by Jennifer DiMarco, it gives women the courage to live, love, and have faith. I love when she said, “I write to bring light to the shadows and voice to the silence. To shed light on misconceptions, bring light into the darkness. To speak for those not spoken for to speak the truth. Open your eyes, by doing nothing to stop hate, we are condoning it. Stand up against the horrors, segregation is wrong, battery is wrong, oppression is wrong, abuse is wrong. There is no time to choose blindness, do not hide, STOP it from happening again.”
