This poem is an original piece written by me. I performed this poem as a monologue during the talent portion of pageants when I won my titles as “Miss Black & Gold 2008″ and “Miss USF 2009″.
A few of the quotes that I live by:
"The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work." - Oprah Winfrey
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." -Maya Angelou
"Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to."
"We want God to change our circumstances, but God wants to use our circumstances to change us."
"Some people dream of great accomplishments. Others stay awake and do them."
"People of high self esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else."
I wept because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet - Ancient Persian saying
"A lady with passion is always in fashion. A woman on a mission needs no permission."
