 In Her Own Words...

"I am learning to be brave, when I feel my most cowardly, I am learning to let go when I want to hold on tighter, I am learning to run faster when my mind says give up...and in spite of my flaws I can achieve.

I am a young woman on the move to success and who believes that nothing is promised to me so I have to work hard to achieve all things of worth. I give of my best at all times and therefore will not settle for mediocrity. I believe in the success of others but I also know the flaws of mankind therefore I try not to be surprised when encountered by the negatives of people."
-Nickeishia Barnes
