"This whole experience transformed me into a tennis ball: everything life threw at me, I managed to bounce back with increasing resilience, always serving with a smile.

Because I've been tossed from one side of the court to the other so many times, I've learned to fight back. It was a struggle—sometimes it's still a struggle—to mold myself into God's purpose for my life. The acceptance that my failures don't define me has set me free. I'm now stronger, wiser, and able to see into the past to realize my grandparents and great-grandparents sowed seeds my eyes have yet to see.

More than anything, I discovered there was greatness in me, and I had to embrace it to get to where I am today. Don't limit yourself because of age - you can still become who you were created to be. Join me in my story; see for yourself how I was able to turn my pain into gain and create this great and wonderful testimony."
