I can't say that I know what its like to go without. I grew up in a upper middle class home and we just didn't struggle. For a while, when I was younger, I was like these kids you see on My Sweet 16, etc. I guess its part of the maturing process and/or the fact that when I went to college I met and become friends with people who were totally different from me, I think that I have become a better person. I realize that I don't like who I used to be(stuck-up, bougie, unsympathetic, cold, etc. ).I am so appreciative of the things that the Lord and my parents provided for me. Reading some of these stories, brought a tear to my eyes also, because I realize how blessed I have been and how easily things could have been on the other foot.
I really don't know any of you personally, but I believe that the Lord wouldn't give you anything that you couldn't handle. And these expierences have probably made you into stong, independent, successful women.
Sorry its so long!!
