Nice going Brooke! I'm happy for you. Your very open and thanks for the sweet story it signifies great effort, determination, focus and a willingness to go on. It had inspired me somewhat to move on. Today I will commence a significant effort to make people aware that I'm capable of just about anything like a normal person.

Brooke, your so lucky having a very good mother like her. Remember, not all the people are given a nice mom. You owe her a lot. What you have now is because of your mother's effort who kept on inspiring you.

VERY INSPIRING!
Teresa K. from Redmond, Oregon JUNE 10, 2007
A very determined young lady! Brooke said she didn't know where she got such determination, but I think that it's obvious that that came from her supportive family. They were also quite determined to give her everything possible in spite of their troubles. It seems that determination was handed down from her parents.
Janice M from Rockingham, Western Australia JUNE 3, 2007
This story makes me wonder what characteristics I have not used to their full potential - because I wasn't tested to this level? Maybe, because I heard your story Brooke, I will persevere more. You are an inspiration.
Luna A. S. from Polomolok, PHILIPPINES MAY 29, 2007
Oh! You are one of a kind, Brooke!!!! Hardships and patience always test the time of our lives. You are the living example of hope. Your mom is so wonderful. She's indeed a strong woman. She is an inspiration to every mother of this world. It's a heartwarming story. I am so thankful reading your life.

You can do anything you want if you try hard enough.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going...and you have proved it. You are "the survivor"...your parents must be really proud of you. This is the biggest gift you have given them...and even though I don't know you...I am proud of you, Brooke.
