    Only Time Will Tell Have you ever wondered where you’d be in life if it wasn’t for that special someone? Well, if it wasn’t for my younger brother Alex, I would more than likely be in a very dark place in my life. When my brother was only two years of age a school bus ran him over. The impact of the school bus running over a portion of his body almost killed him right in front of me. I was only six at the time, and I can’t help but think, if he didn’t make it through that accident on that horrible day, how my life would been completely different now, and not in a good way.…

    Music to the Ears If you mess up just once in your life, it could affect your future.

Having always been considered an unusual girl in the eyes of my peers, I'd never been truly comfortable in my skin.…
