Delani’s Story

I know that I’m getting stronger in multiple ways each and everyday! For years I struggled with learning how to love myself because for a long time, bad memories from my home life and my social life haunted me. But, I have learned to overcome these hardships each day. I still have insecurities, but my self-esteem is growing, and I am determined to replace the hardships of my past with a happy and productive future.

Now that I am older and about to graduate high school, I spend less time dwelling on what others think of me. I realize that I have matured. I've learned how to just walk away from difficult situations and that every action doesn’t need a reaction. I have learned that while I cannot control my environment, I do not have to let it control me and just as I can walk away from a difficult person and seek someone better, I can also seek a better situation for myself. This is why I am excited for college because it means learning, and building relationships, and growing up, and it means hope.
