Today is not my judgment day, for I am still alive. I have lived by the ethics and morals that have been instilled in my very core: my heart, my mind, my body and my soul. My love flows deep and strong through my very being, just like the great rivers that course through this great nation. I stand up for my beliefs and would die defending those beliefs. I would die defending the things I love…..my children, my loved ones and my country. I have been broken….which has taught me strength……I have been hurt …. which has taught me to be kind......I have been made fun of.......which has taught me respect........I have been looked up to.......which has taught me humility......I have been lost.....which has taught me leadership……I have been loved….which has taught me compassion…..I have been in danger…..which has taught me to fear………I have conquered fear …… which has taught me percerverence…….I have been the protector……which has taught me to be selfless….. Judge me not for what you think…..but for my very core of being…. Those who judge me unknowingly….. fear me……thoses who don't ...... accept me………
