My Story

A few of Alyssa's favorite quotes that really show who she is as a person: "Your having the time of your life Capture it, remember it Be the change you want to see & Never give up; even if it means to keep chasing pavements that get you no where But don't let success get to your head Or failure get to your heart I don't know how it gets better than this Diving into life head first, fearless Somebody else gets what you wanted again, and lets be honest, sometimes the hardest thing in life is to be happy for someone else Painful moments, I TRUST God. I will follow my dreams because I know, the sky isn't the limit when there are footprints on the moon. I laugh when I'm embarrassed, Cry when I need to, And I'm not afraid to make mistakes I'm letting go of the life I once tried to control Because I know, God has an amazing plan" She continues to be a true blessing and inspiration to those around her. She is a fighter...never giving up. Truly a beautiful young woman.
