I found it through constant questioning of my purpose on earth and have concluded that I was placed here to help others. Thus, I believe that bettering myself in all these needs is essential before I can help others. Mussell (2005) suggests that intuitiveness should be used to guide us in our everyday lives (p.122). Through trial and error, I have learned that my intuition is usually right and is something that should not be second guessed.

For my 16th birthday I received a locket with my monogram on it. Inside was a picture of me and my grandfather when I was little. Earlier that year my grandfather had passed from kidney failure. My papaw was my best friend and being the youngest granddaughter, hit me hard. The rest of that year put me into a major depression. Which led to me being put on anti-depression medication (that was a whole other roller coaster). I can say that those 5 months were the hardest of my life.
