We Shall Overcome... My name is Samantha Jo. I'm 20 years young. I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a cousin. I'm a college student, a Girl Scout Alum and Girl Scout Leader. I'm a granddaughter, an empowered young woman, and a PCOS survivor. Disease is scary, cancer is terrifying. Wasting your life being afraid is worse. Use your disabilities to be a teacher, an advocate, a survivor. You can empower young women in a way 90% of the female population cannot. You can be an example of strength, determination, survival, and courage. When your distraught, or down about your illness, talk to God. Tell the heavenly father how upset you are. Tell him your concerns, give him your troubles. He's a great listener and a powerful speaker. When that fails, think about the little girls that will face the same obstacles you are now. What would you say? What would you want them to think? How would you tell them to cope? How should they react?
I'm a beauty advisor. I'm a best friend. I'm a co-worker. I'm a classmate. I'm a role model. I'm a lot of things, but one thing I'm not is a quitter. Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?
