I am qualified to write this book because this is "The Reality of My Life" and it is that precise information worth telling to the world so as to encourage people to, never accept defeat; instead, set goals no matter what the circumstances are. Also, do your utmost to achieve those goals. I struggled but I overcame and so could you.
I experienced set backs, underwent tremendous headaches and pain as a child, having my mind confused at times as to why certain things were happening to me; such as, walking those lonesome roads at nine years old and experiencing extreme fear, and hoping that I could be rescued but to no avail.
Due to the fact that I am the one who felt the abuse while growing up as a child and without a voice, I was unable to tell anyone about what I was going through. Everything stayed bundled up within me and eventually got sick but overcame all of my troubles because of deliverance from the Almighty God.
There were times I felt that there was no way out for me because of the tremendous pressures that I was under, but for some reason I would escape those situations. After I grew older, I started praying a lot to my precious God and life became much easier for me. I started seeking God's guidance more often and that's why I have the rights and authority to write this book.
2. I am from the Caribbean, born on the Island of Dominica. I migrated to St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands at the age of 18. From a child I always wanted to be educated but did not have the opportunity.
In the virgin Islands, I found a wealth of opportunities and took the advantage of educating myself. I went to night school, took a correspondence course, passed the GED. I worked as a carpenter helper, mason, and process operator mean- while.
I migrated to the main land where I attended one of the Universities and obtained my MBA in Animal science and Vocational Education.
Throughout my life I was often told that I would not amount to anything but to the surprise of the many nay sayers, God has elevated me to higher grounds.
From then to now I have gone through excess pressures, different sicknesses and recovering through God's power, having my second son died, financial strains, yet obtaining some of my goals. That is why I am inspired to write this book.
I am quite sure that there are many people going through the same struggles; therefore, I am hoping that when they read my book they will be encouraged and enlightened. That is why I wrote "The Reality of Life."
3. I eventually returned to the USVI. During my two years of teaching, my second son died tragically. Following his death we had successes and failures, such as having a business, build a second house, but due to competition the business failed and later shut down.
For the past twenty years as a teacher, I have experienced sickness, deceit, jealousy, envy, and many more. Through it all, the Almighty God healed me and saw me through and has inspired me to write "The Reality of My Life."
COMMENT: I hope that this book will be of interest to many readers around the world; it may be a mother, a father with children they did not plan for, please give them love instead of hate; older brothers or older sisters with younger siblings that are being abused by their parents, please do everything in your power to protect them because abused children are always crying out for help. I know because I lived through it and sometimes help was never there.
Most of the time abused children are not getting the love needed to grow and develop properly. Some parents caused division among siblings which affected them emotionally, mentally and physically. This type of divisions are not healthy and cause problems in assertiveness, decision making, state of mind, and emotional stability for these children.view less
