“What’s one of your favorite things about yourself?”
“My resilience, my confidence, and the drive to always want to know more about the world I live in, and who I am, and my purpose.”
“Can you tell me about one time you were resilient?”
“I’ve been through a lot of trauma and at one point all my prayers revolved around death and taking me because of the suffering I went through.”
“What was going on?”
“I was kidnapped a couple years ago and held for a year and three months. I was beaten regularly, raped, and drugged so I wouldn’t run anyway. It was a really painful time in my life but I was able to blossom from that and grow. I grew a lot in faith. I grew a lot wiser and my mother always says ‘wisdom comes with pain’. That’s just one experience I went through to become a better person.”
