Its More Than A Birthday

It's my birthday today and I would like to say that although I am not totally ecstatic to be 20 years old I am extremely grateful for being able to live another year. I would like to say that in one year a lot has happened to me some good some bad and I am grateful for the experiences that I have gone through not to mention the people that I have grown up and I have met. I have learned to embrace whatever life throws my way because at the end of the day I am blessed no matter how hard it can get. There has been alot of older mentors and friends that have come into my life that I am soo grateful for that I wouldn't change anything for the world. Thanks to everybody that had made a positive impact on my life: my friends, my family and my mentors. I don't have enough words to express to you that at 20 years of age I am living a life that some people will never grasp nor understand but I'm glad I had people in my corner backing me up. This is not a happy birthday to me this is a celebration of the people who have contributed to the 20 years of life I have lived so far.

Thank You,
Vanessa Naadu Yaya Adams
