Because I have
grown up in a family unit that has not known divorce, I believe in the
connection formed through a marriage.
Because I have
seen the adverse effects that drugs and excessive alcohol abuse can have on a
person’s mind and life, I choose to refrain from those activities.
Because I have
experienced the heartache of having a door closed on me, I know the importance
of being grateful for opportunities.
Because I did
not always utilize the opportunities presented to me in my schooling, I now
view any form of education as a benefit and try to uphold that value.
Because I was
intimidated and bullied by others as a young person, I know how important it is
to treat everyone I meet with respect, no matter what they look like or what
their interests are.
Because I grew
up in the country for part of my life, I appreciate the beauty that is
Australia in all its natural settings.
Because I have
felt love, I know how to show love to others.
Because I have
travelled to different countries and met many who live in poverty, I seek to
assist those in need whenever possible.
Because I know
truth, I live my life from that perspective.
Because I had a
dream planted into my heart at an early age, I have not given up even when the
dream did not seem to be possible.
