“The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am”

“My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.”

“People from my first home say I'm brave. They tell me I'm strong. They pat me on the back and say, 'Way to go. Good job.' But the truth is, I am not really very brave; I am not really very strong; and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am simply doing what God has called me to do as a person who follows Him. He said to feed His sheep and He said to care for 'the least of these,' so that's what I'm doing, with the help of a lot people who make it possible and in the company of those who make my life worth living”

“I am what I am.........both as a result of people who respected me and helped me, and of those who did not respect me and treated me badly.Nelson Mandela”

“Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.”

“Who I am, and what I am capable of doing has always managed to surprise me.”
