Bio:
I am beautiful, kind, caring, giving, sweet, funny, stubborn, courageous, a fighter, a survivor, a believer, strong, independent, loving, optimistic, hopeful, emotional, wise, disciplined, focused, honest, loyal, confident, determined, genuine, a hard worker, respectful, calm, intelligent, imaginative, a dreamer, blessed and grateful. I believe in God. I believe in myself. I believe in my dream. I believe in my destiny. I am a blessed woman. I have everything I need to live a comfortable life. I have a roof over my head. I have money to pay my bills. I have food on my table, hot running water, a clean bed to sleep in, a nice car, nice clothes to wear and I am very thankful for what I have. I thank God daily for taking care of my needs and his creations, but deep down I am not satisfied. I have had desires to be used by God since I was a little girl, to be used by God to help the people around me who are less fortunate. I am doing as much as I can with what I have now. However, I want to do more and that is why I have this dream that I have been dreaming and praying about for more than twenty years. I feel like God has been preparing me for my dream in ways that I can’t explain. I have lived a hard life and I have learned and became a better and stronger person with each obstacle that I have faced. Today I feel that I am ready to face any challenge life may throw at me. I understand the pain and the need in the world. I want to help fill that need and relieve some of the pain. That is why I have this dream. I do not have any formal education or experience. What I do have though, is real life experience. I have great ideas, and I want to share my ideas with someone and try the acting field. God has been working on me for twenty years to make me the person I am today. I kept my dream alive for twenty years and I think it is about time to turn my dreams into a reality. I am ready for the world.
