I agree with all these posts crazy babie!! You will never regret one single second spent on bettering yourself! Take advantage of all the programs available to you! Acknowledging you WANT better tells me you know you DESERVE better! And that ridiculous comment by your step dad...it's just that. It reflects very poorly on him and his maturity level. I have come to believe some people are just born without filters. I'm really proud of you! Can't wait to hear about what you pursue!!
