Born into disadvantage, given to oppression I will not let these things define me. Brought up with courage and the strength of my convictions. I push forward everyday. Through the forge of life I am heated by fire, hammered into a vessel, purer in my resolve than the finest gold. To the heights that Eagles dare to soar, I rise above my circumstances. I blaze my own path and defy the odds. I will be held back by no man, nor will I be told what I cannot do. Like an Acorn that was laid low into the dirt, I will rise with the strength of a mighty Oak, as I let my branches push up towards the sun. Until I have obtain my destiny that I forged by an unbreakable spirit and the willingness to work for what I want out of life.
