In my mirror, I see a beautiful American woman whom has walked through many storms and made it through the other side. Many people look in their mirror and see all the wrong things they have done in their life. My mirror has always shows the, "if you were not there scenes".

In my mirror I see a person whom everyone thought would never amount to anything and none of the children which my hands guide would be much of anything either. I see the high school drop-out whom lost two college scholarships to make sure her family had her close to guide them. When I look in my mirror, I see the daughter whom father is proud of the person she has become. In all of my wrong, I have never disappointed my father in in the fact of the person I am. In my mirror, I see the person whom helps my sibling and children to become the people they are today. In my mirror as a sister, aunt and mother whom there is plenty of respect and love, that was built from the storm we have fought off and the knowledge that there are many more storms to fight. Moreover, in these storm to come we will still come out fine.

In my mirror, I see the many hands that I have held through the raging storms that life has thrown. I see the many lives that my words and love has changed for the good. My mirror shows me the children whom had nowhere to go, nothing to eat and no clean clothing without me. I love my mirror because when I start to kick myself, that mirror shows me the real me. My mirror shows me the love that many would not have had if not for me. My mirror shows me that even though the words were not there, I needed to be there.

There is a history story in my mirror. Every twinkle in my eyes, every gray hair on my head and every wrinkle line in my face, there is traces of history. With every story, there was a storm and with every storm, there was a great outcome. With every great outcome, there were the calm, with plenty of smiles and love.

My mirror shows me that I am a child of God. For I have not always chose the right road to walk, I have learnt lessons from those wrong roads. With these lessons, I try to help others not to go by way of those roads. In my mirror, I see the many faces that depend on me to keep going. In my mirror I sees Gods' light showing me that I am not perfect, but I am getting there. In my mirror, I see Gods' approval of my learning process.

In my mirror, I see my shine.
