I'm the luckiest person in the world - and I didn't even have to play the lottery. What makes me feel as though I'm so lucky is the fact that I had to overcome some challenges as a child. The first challenge I completed before I turn five years old. Life has treated me fairly and I can't complain about that and I count my blessing every day. I was able to overcome a heart surgery at a young age, have four great kids, and still have a healthy lifestyle. As a child, I was always sick and the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. It wasn't until my third birthday when my mother took me to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida.

Although it was small, it was draining fluid and it was the reason that caused me to become very sick so the doctors had to do an emergency heart surgery. At this time my mom was scared and didn't think I was going to make it. After a long five hour surgery was when I got my first lucky break. I was able to recover out of surgery with no known complications. The doctors did also informed my mother that I wouldn't be able to have any kids or do extra activity, like for example, track, cross country, etc. My next lucky break in life was when I had my first child at the age of nineteen. Although, they told me I couldn't have kids. I was not going to let that stop me from having kids and that made my OBGYN very scared of me. After having my first child with no complication, I went on having three mores healthy kids and all of my kids are two years apart. So, altogether I have four kids which consist of two girls and two boys. My last little girl was the specialist because she has one dark brown eye and one hazel eye. My finally lucky break is being able to have a healthy life. I'm bless because I don't have to worry about the fact of being overweight or underweight. I keep in
