Salad of My Life
The Salad of My Life In my short seventeen years of living on this wonderful planet, I have embraced many situations and encountered numerous people who have made me who I am today. I commonly refer to myself as a salad, because I am a mixture of many different qualities, experiences, and aspects that make me, me.

My final aspect of my salad is the parmesan cheese. My last law of life is, God will never put you in a situation you can’t handle. God is my rock, and I look to
