I can’t express enough gratitude for my SD. He’s amazing in every way. My mother gave me up for adoption when I was 4. I bounced around group homes for a long time. There’s not enough words to explain what my SD has done for me. He’s given me a new life. All my life it felt like everyone just wanted to see me fail. My mother, my temporary adoptive parents, even my “friends”. It’s like a disease. Studying about successful people made it clear that the vast majority of them were setup for successful lives. Or at least they had tools at their disposal to be successful. I’m not diminishing their efforts or work in any way at all. But reading about how successful people setup their families for success it was clear to me that coming from where I did that I couldn’t ever reach that. And success to me isn’t measured by being super wealthy, it’s just being happy. A tiny house and something to call mine, a working car is all above and beyond anything I could ever imagine.

My SD is so selfless that for the first time ever, someone took an interest in me. He wants me to succeed. I was and am still shocked by that. With his help I’m set to graduate in 2024 and now have a small business making a profit. He has been an amazing mentor and friend.

Wrapping up here. A big thank you to good SDs. You don’t know how much people like me appreciate you!
