Your doubt of me pushed me to defy those odds!!” “Thank you for being God’s unwilling tool to get me working harder!!! To every little child there, what you have control over is where your power is. I started as the underdog but by reaching out, asking questions, listening, asking again, I got you all on my side!!! I personally knocked on more than 1,000 doors, spoke to uncountable more on the streets, at the stores, at kids games, practices and activities. You had me drop off my cards on trash cans so I can stay away from your dogs that I am petrified of ( you do not want to see me around a dog).” “It is not who you were born as but what you make of who you are!!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!! I cant even coordinate my thoughts . Thank you to everyone who stuck out their neck for me! But now the real hard work begins!!! I will be needing your help more now! I do not know my left from my right but will be counting on your ideas and advices and holding me accountable respectfully and with love!!!” “Please do not put a bag of salt on my head and become a rain maker after me!!! We did the hard part! Now let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work on the real things!!!” READ ALSO:  Lucky Journalists escape death while attending Bayelsa elections, cameras damaged by TaboolaSponsored LinksYou May Like A cheap way to cleanse your face from fine lines and wrinkles.
