Persevere.  That's how I've gotten through nineteen years of life. It's what I do every single day—no matter how badly the odds are stacked against me. Persevere, and survive. Those are my two guiding words. I never knew either of my parents. I have no family and no home. The only person I could ever rely on was myself.
