I am a 33 year old single mother of two wonderful girls. I was born visually impaired with little vision in my left eye. I was also cross eyed. Growing up, my family didn’t have a lot of money, but somehow with only my father working, my parents were able to put me through visual therapy. While I still have little vision in my left eye, I have learned to compensate. In addition, I became hearing impaired in my left ear due to chronic ear infections. I have a genetic mutation of my ear canals in which, as an adult, they are the size of a 6 month old’s. I was called every name in the book growing up because of the thick glasses and huge hearing aid that I had to wear. I was every bully’s target. I have used the pain and hurt that I endured to help others. I spent 9 years as an elementary teacher and am now in graduate school to become a counselor. My ambition is to become a prolife family counselor. I specifically want to work with abused women and children, as well as have felt a tug in my heart towards prolife pregnancy counseling, and post abortion counseling for both men and women affected by the choices of unplanned pregnancy. I strongly believe that all life is a gift from God, and noone has a right to decide who can live and who can’t.
