Thanks! I am very proud of myself, even if the road has been a little bumpy at times, I'm proud I was able to correct it immediately and learn from those bumps!

Thank you! I was going to do a before and after photo in the post, but I couldn't seem to get the pictures to attach, so the changed profile picture will have to suffice!

Congratulations!!! You are a wonderful young lady. I remember a first few post you wrote on OH. I always believed you would be successful. in almost anything you attempt to do.

It is a joy to see a young person with an attitude like you have.

The sky is the limit for you. As long as you believe in it.

Because you deserve the best. Don't ever forget about it. Believe in yourself.

You may have some setbacks on your way. Consider them just that. A obstacle on your way - designed to teach you new things, for you to get stronger.

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year for you! I too remember when you first started posting on OH... your new profile picture is simply amazing, and while the weight in itself is a HUGE accomplishment, the story of how you ended up here is amazing

I wish you the best of luck with your CNA, and wherever else your career takes you!

You've done an amazing job, both inside and out!
