I grew up receiving abuse and hurts by adults in my life. Not many people were patient with me or gave me time to let me improve in different areas of my life. I received lots of verbal abuse and always got bullied by kids in school because of my loss of hearing. During my teen years, I felt I was the only one going through struggles and there was no one else who was having a hard time or being abused by others. I didn’t understand why God allowed this to happen to me and didn’t believe He really cares for me.

I am grateful for boys who help me get a glimpse of God’s picture. They always will be special in my heart, I will always look forward to spending time with them, I will always try to encourage them in their difficult times, and I will always love them no matter what.
