In 2009 and 2010, I was involved in a physically abusive relationship. Due to my reliance of him and feelings involved in the relationship, I was unable to leave as soon as I should. I prayed to the lord every night to help me get out of the situation I was in. I prayed that the lord would not allow him to kill me. It was my darkest time in life but I never lost faith that the lord would see me through it. And he did. In May of 2010, I found out that I was pregnant. At that moment, I knew I could no longer allow myself to be abused and walked away from the relationship. It was heartbreaking. It was difficult. It was emotional. It was a struggle. It was empowering. I felt like a new woman. I felt like I finally had control in my life and would …show more content…
dictate what happened. My life became focused on the future and being a strong role model for my future daughter.
There were days that I felt I couldn't make it on my own and that I needed to go back to the father of my child, however, those thoughts quickly went away when I allowed myself to remember the pain and horror that relationship caused me. I stayed strong and kept building my confidence. In January of 2011, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl and she has been my world ever since. I am ecstatically proud of the young girl she is turning out to be and so grateful to the lord that he brought her into my life. It was not how I planned on starting a family but I know that the lord gives us a blessing when we least expect it. Since my daughter has graced my life with her presence, I have been involved in the Real Estate industry, specifically in Appraisals. it has been a very up and down industry and has caused a lot of stress in my life. During this time, I constantly found myself questioning my purpose in life and where my future was heading. I found myself consistently thinking, "How am I serving the lord and my fellow man"? I have always felt a strong desire to help people. I have always been able to stay calm under pressure and assist when others are in
danger. Even in my own tragic events in life, I have always looked at how I can help others. It gives me joy to see others happy because of something I have done to help them. It gives me satisfaction and I feel like I have a purpose again. That is what lead me to nursing. It has always been something I have been interested in doing, yet, I never found I had the time to pursue that opportunity. I am at a point in life now where, I don't want to just have a job. I don't want to just make a paycheck. I want to make a difference in the world. I want to help in participating in the lord's work. I want to help a mother deliver a healthy baby. I want to help an elder figure out why he can't keep food down. I want to give life. I want to make life enjoyable for the people I come across. I want to learn daily and use that knowledge. I want to make a better life for myself and my daughter. I want to make a difference. I am a very motivated woman, given that I am everything to my daughter. I want to be a woman that she is proud of and someone that she looks up to. I need to show her that no matter what obstacles you face in life, nothing and no one can keep you from following your dreams and making them a reality. I know that the lord is encouraging me to move forward in this path and I am ready and willing to take this step.

For twelve years I’ve tried to hide my pain and fear from you. I’ve been trying to ignore the horror stories, unknowingly blinding myself from the stories of hope. I’m not as bitter as this story may lead you to think. In fact, I am an adamant believer in the statement (overheard three years ago in the Coffee House): “God has never taken anything away from me that he hasn’t replaced with something better.”
Trauma can impact someone’s life to where they can’t make connections with anyone. Even connecting with family it would be hard.Trauma changes the way they see the world and other people.

This refers to any form of maltreatment that can be categorized as an individual being subjected to the activities of another individual that frequently result in any form of mental trauma of the victim. Psychological maltreatment can be seen as one of the most serious and slightly overlooked problems in modern society (Lesson & Nixon, 2010).

Nevertheless, there is much controversy regarding the true definition and consequences of psychological maltreatment. As of now, psychological maltreatment is one of the most difficult forms of maltreatment to detect and
There are many different types of domestic violence. Physical abuse is the most obvious form, but this is not to say that outsiders always recognize it. Generally, physical violence causes bodily harm, using a variety of methods. Slapping, pushing, throwing, hitting, punching, and strangling are only a few methods. An object or weapon may or may not be used. There is not always physical evidence of physical abuse such as bruising, bleeding, scratches, bumps, etc., therefore, absence of physical marks does not necessarily mean physical abuse had not occurred. Physical abuse sometimes escalates to murder (Morris and Biehl 7, Haley 14-17).

At the age of fifteen, I was faced the most difficult time of my life. The Lord
During military service, I experienced domestic violence for a minimum of nine years while being married to another military service member. In January of 1988 during military service and marriage, I also gave birth to my second son, who died three day after being born. Although many people may find themselves in complicated situations, I never thought that I would be one of those individuals. During this period of fear, pain, and sadness, I dealt with the situation the best I knew how, because I had military responsibilities, parent responsibilities to my first born son who was six years old at the time, and while still trying to keep my family together. I quickly found other means of managing my experience with both situations by convincing

About 90% of 4th through 8th graders have experienced bullying in the U.S.. Bullying has caused many issues, such as depression, anxiety, or even suicide.

Life is a mixture of experiences, culture, tradition, sexuality, politics and much more. Experiences make us the person who we are today. Describing how an individual handles certain stages in life. These experiences demonstrates how a person behaves, and determines their attitude. In my life I have experienced many things that have affected me in all aspects of myself. How I interact with people, what my actions are, my preferences, and all about me. With my experiences that I have faced I learned many things but one thing that stands out is that everyone should have morals of compassion, kindness, and respect the value of life. This is a very diminutive world and we can take to perspective to be considerate with our actions and say.
Falling in love with someone is supposed to be one of life’s greatest gifts. People fall in love, get married and have children. Sometimes life is not that simple for some people. Sometimes during this great time in their life, their partner becomes physically, mentally, and sexually abusive. So one would ask, why not leave and get out of the relationship? It is not that simple for the victim. Fear of their partner’s actions, concerns about their children, and their deep attachment to their partner are factors that cause people to stay in abusive relationships.

It only takes one bad experience to change your opinion on something. Imagine if you went through this same bad experience for months, or better yet years. Your whole personality, how you view yourself, and others changes drastically. This is what it feels like to be bullied. Bullying is a serious issue in America, especially among children and young adults. From kindergarten all the way up until my sophomore year of high school, I was a victim of bullying. Being bullied changed how I viewed myself and others, what my values and morals were, and it shaped me into the person I am today.
