Yvonne Pierre quote #186 from The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir
For every person who closed the door in my face thank you. For every person who told me I wasnt good enough thank you. For every person who laughed and told me that I was wasting my time going to college because I was going to fail thank you. For every person who tried to break me thank you. For every person who took my kindness for weakness thank you. For every person who told me I was wasting time chasing my dreams because I would fail thank you. It could of broke me. From the core of my heart I thank you. I truly mean it because if it werent for each of you I wouldnt be who I am today. I wouldnt of spend hours and loss sleep studying. I wouldnt developed tough skin. You pushed me to think about what I really want out of life. You pushed me to master my craft. You helped me develop the drive passion and determination. You pushed me to not wait for someone to believe in my vision but to find a way to make things happen. I know you didnt intend to but I thank you for teaching me to believe in myself AND you taught me to TRUST in God and lean on my faith not man. Thank You
