I know that I for one could find many people who would challenge the position you see yourself in as being the strangest person on earth. Honestly, there isn't a person alive that doesn't have their own strange characteristic that wouldn't rate them that position.

Sadly, sometimes a condition we are given to live with from the beginning starts a social preception......however, it's our job to change the way they see us into something positive.....so they see the person we really are. God has made each of us special.......we all have our strengths & weaknesses. What is important for us to do is to work on the strengths & focus on them so that others will see them because that is who we really are. We can't depend on others to see it before we put it before them to see. It is our responsibility to become what God has intended us to be

Most importantly, we need to depend on ourselves to make ourselves what we want to be. You got your degree in Spanish....you must have had that goal for a purpose......now it's your job to find the purpose that you can make use of it.....it's important not to lay the excuses for not succeeding on others......you are the one that has to be happy with your career now that you have your degree...it's your responsibility to find the position that will make you happy & will give you that sense of success that a college degree should provide.....no one else can determine what that position might be.....that is something you need to find for yourself....mostly because if you do it yourself.....then you are the successful one.....you can give yourself the credit for succeeding & finding the path that God has meant for you.

Being a success story makes us feel so much more valuable than if we depend on someone else to hand us our way in life........when we feel that success & know that it belongs to us.....we then can be proud of what we have accomplished & then others see us in a much different light...they look at us with respect which is something that is earned, not handed to us.

I hope your future ends up with your success, rather than piled up excuses because of how others have treated you.......success stories come from within.

I pray you will find your way in the future,
Debbie
