I never thought much of myself<\/p>\n
just a girl that was told she<\/p>\n
would never amount to anything<\/p>\n
too stupid for college<\/p>\n
but just right for takin orders.<\/p>\n
those words always stayed in my head.<\/p>\n
never could I believe in myself<\/p>\n
never could I appreciate myself<\/p>\n
nope! My mother\u2019s words sewn deep<\/p>\n
into my brain. Everyday those were the<\/p>\n
words that I\u2019d wake up to. Another day. The same words.<\/p>\n
one day I took control of my life. I was terrified at failure. You can\u2019t do it, whispered throughout my day.<\/p>\n
never good enough! Never smart enough. Until I broke those chains.<\/p>\n
honours and A\u2019s! Studied at Cambridge, England, too!<\/p>\n
dear old mother, that always told me I\u2019d never amount to anything\u2026<\/p>\n
look at me now! Living my dream! In London!
