LOVE STORIES LIKE THIS! I firmly believe that most people are their worst enemies. I've seen this in myself, people I work with and family. It isn't the state or your family or the universe holding you back, it is your own self doubt and lack of personal responsibility. Everyone has struggles and barriers. Some are born with more than others but in the end it is only up to us what we do with what we have. Most people talk themselves out of success before they even start. I have to remind myself of this pretty often.

Bravo to you. Thank you for sharing. You don't need luck but I wish you the best!
