Teen pregnancy with little to no support trying to sift through the healing process was not easy. With an 8th grade education I had nothing but resilience and God to rely on! I was told I couldn’t and wouldn’t by so many. Found myself in abusive toxic relationships and my only support were addicted parents. I needed more for my children and decided to fight. Today, I am graduating with my MPA and work as a Sexual Assault Response Team Coordinator! I want to share that no matter what your background who you are or the odds there is a way out and up!</i><b><i>"</i></b></p> <p><a href="https://thriveglobal.com/authors/christine-depre/" target="_blank">thriveglobal.com/authors/christine-depre/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.trustingwithin.com" target="_blank">https://www.trustingwithin.com</a></p>
