My entire life from day one I have had to work hard sometimes Alot harder than others,but that's ok with me.as I get older I realize nothing is out of reach and each day is new.full of possibilities.As a single mother I raised two beautiful daughters and in that I found my strengths.now as they are grown U turn to myself to better my life so that there is a first for an education and ways to a better life. I want to use my head the rest of my life and not my back for labor,so to speak. So here I am in school and making the grade.as well as the honor society. This is my dream to get my education and be an example for my 4 granddaughters to see.to know they can overcome obstacles and be educated women .also I want them to see that even someone born with very little chances can make this happen.and overcome the opposition in which keeps so many women in bad situations.It is true the power of positivity is real and amazing.all you have to do is set your intention,set your goal and dont stop until you make it.and eliminate negative in your life.

Hello my name is Armanda Lawler[Livingston]. If I had to think of a quality that I value in myself It would probably be my Resilience,.a real true grit person.I am big on morals,standards and the core things we should be instilling in the children today. There are choices in life and as time progresses more and more choices and with that comes Alot of negativity.I try to turn any negative to a positive. Also I try hard to keep my self in a positive state of mind.negativity is like a flat tire ,you can't go anywhere until you change it.and I never give up.we can all get ready and live or we can simply live to die,I myself choose to live like each day may be the last.never forgetting to thank our creator for each day we have.
