Not Ashamed To Say I Am Miss Tolbert
There are over millions of people in this world today that are all different; however, we all have a story to tell. Page one is the beginning of the pages that begin to reveal my story. I was born on May 31, 1990, in Selma, Alabama. After my birth, my mother, Tyniece Tolbert, and father, Michael Smith, decided to move to Georgia. It was a different environment for us; yet, once we moved we started to adapt ourselves to the location. Growing up was, in a way, complex at times. Being the youngest and the only girl, I was always treated a little differently. To be more frank, I was really spoiled, but I still didn’t let that shape me. Though I was spoiled by my parents, I never seemed to get that same treatment from my brothers. By the way, I have three brothers, whom are all grown now. The eldest lives in Dallas, Texas, and the other two, whom are twins, now reside in Dunwoody, Georgia. The eldest moved to Texas in my younger years, so I really do not have many memories of him. In contrast, the twins really helped me much through life and I was closer to them while growing up.
When it comes to religion, I am a Jehovah’s Witness, and I have strong faith in God. I was baptized on July1, 2006, and, in my opinion, that was the best decision I have ever made. Not only do I know that this is the truth, but I think that anyone who changes their life for God is on the right path.
Throughout my life I have experienced many changes, which have all molded me into who I am today. I really appreciate my mother, whom has guided me through all of life’s experiences. During my younger years we didn’t have a close relationship at all, but once my brothers left, we started to get to know each other. I consider her to be my best friend, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.
One major thing that I have changed about myself is the way I accept things. I used to care about what people think about me, but over the years I have realized that they either love or hate me and whichever they pick will not faze me. This change that I went through really strengthened my demeanor and way of approaching things.
Overall, my life has been a maze, and my journey has just begun. I look forward to accomplishing everything that I want to in life, and I will do all of that with set standards. On this road that I am taking, I know that there will be distractions, and road blocks, but I still plan on looking forward.
