I at times look back at my life and I am so thankful for where I am today. I had my first child when I was 20 years old. I was still attending University but was not exactly sure what I wanted to pursue as a career. It wasnt until I moved away from home and was living in an unstable lifestyle and unhealthy relationship that I had decided that I wanted to help others like me who was living a life that was constantly threatened. I wasnt sure how I would reach my goal so I started to research and learn more about myself as well as what I wanted to do. I moved back to Brandon not knowing yet what program to take but living day to day. A few months later I found a program at the Assiniboine Community College in the Aboriginal Community Development Program, a 2 year program and so I applied. I was put on the waiting list, there were about 12 people ahead of me. it was a week before school would start and no luck and so I made my appointment with City Welfare. I went to my appointment and was sitting at home with my papers to complete. Just then I got a call, asking if I was still interested in the program and of course I said yes!! I was still in an unhealthy relationship when i was going to college and later to University but still managed to look after my children and complete my classes. I was too unstable, my life was a roller coaster and I at times failed to be at my best but kept trying at a life I wanted and needed. Im thankful for my college classes and university classes, they helped me and continue to help me understand myself before I help others. And now when I am at home, its quiet and I am free to think and feel, I am no longer threatened to be me...I am thankful. I am thankful for people not giving up on me, I am thankful for my parents who were patient and loving. its been quite the experience and I hope to be better at me as the days pass. Sometimes we need to reflect and celebrate the journey we continue to walk. Im thinking I should write a book LoL. have a good day people.
