Learn MoreMy most recent tattoo was a side piece on my head, it was a Asian style traditional bird and for me it represents my peace and freedom of raising my family without the chaos that I was surrounded by in my childhood.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I believe my ink would say , that I achieved in my life well beyond my suffering , that I didn’t succumb to my circumstances and my environment , that every mistake I ever made or problem that was thrown at me , I took control and was able to get through it .
What would you do with the $25,000?I have 8 children , and 2 of my children are on the spectrum. The money would definitely help to get them the best kind of therapy they need. Also , I have had bad teeth ever since I could remember and my childhood did not provide me a chance to get them fixed with braces , so I could use some to get braces and provide some of my children who need braces with them as well. Anything left would be put in savings or used for emergencies to provide a better lifestyle for my family.
