For those who think they know me, let me set the record straight. I’ve been on my own since I was 13. Abused, abandoned, and left to fend for myself, I’ve faced more hardships than most can imagine. No one ever gave me a single penny. Every step I took, every challenge I overcame, was through sheer determination and grit.
The Harsh Reality
Growing up, I quickly learned that the world is not a kind place. People who should have been there for me turned their backs. I was left to navigate life’s toughest moments alone. But instead of breaking me, these experiences forged an unbreakable spirit within me.
Building My Own Path
Fast forward to today, at 53, I am set for life. I’ve built my success from the ground up, with no handouts or shortcuts. My journey is a testament to what can be achieved through relentless hard work and unwavering resolve. I’ve gone from having nothing to owning more real estate than any other individual in the USA on a personal level.
A Message to the World
To those who think they can judge or belittle my achievements, remember this: I owe no one anything. My success is mine alone, earned through blood, sweat, and tears. I’ve learned not to rely on others, and frankly, I’ve learned not to like others. The world may be full of people who will let you down, but I’ve proven that you can rise above it all and create your own destiny.
Conclusion
So, to anyone who doubts me or thinks they know my story, think again. I am a living example of resilience and self-reliance. I’ve faced the worst and come out stronger. And I will continue to thrive, no matter what life throws my way.
