Today my mother told me she was proud of me for standing up for myself. 4 months ago

I am sober now and have been attending Cosmetology College. I get 98% on almost every test. I never knew I could get good grades. I never got grades like that when I was in high school. I am a positive role model for my kids, and even got my license back. My family has never been so proud of me before. 13 months ago

It took a lot of hard work and many late nights working on projects and studying various materials but after receiving honors, scholarships and internships I finally heard the words, “We are proud of you.” Completely worth all of the work! 21 months ago
