What Built Me was created to share my struggles. After a major unexpected situation, I began writing this book. I came home from work crying one night because I was completely overwhelmed and couldn't keep it together. With two jobs in high school and college classes at Queens College, I was overthinking and overworking myself. That season taught me that true believers would support me even if others questioned my abilities. I would have mental breakdowns about my past and current situation on many nights. To be free of all the pain, grudges, and hurt, I had to learn to forgive. Many people forget about me, dismiss me, and tell me that they loved me yet were never there for me. I was bawling my eyes out early in the morning, pleading to God via tears since tears are a language only God understands. My journey and my resilience helped to shape me. Life is an adventure, and I'm just a passenger on the ride.
