I nominate my mother. She published her first book. It is called What Makes You Great? She has helped me and my brother in so many ways. She has raised us by herself. My brother was accepted into college at the age of 13. I am on the honor. Although we have had some hard times because of money, my mom has always made everything seem okay for us. She provided the love and support my brother need. My book is really great. The press release came out, it said: "What Makes You Great? Uplifting New Book Inspires Readers to Fight through Adversity & Pursue Life’s Greatest Dreams. Written by Tasha Hoggatt, ‘What Makes You Great?’ serves as a guide to staying on track during faith-testing times. Urging readers to create opportunities for themselves and pursue them no matter what curveballs life throws, the book is resonating with readers from all walks of life.‘What Makes You Great?’ is more than a self-help book; it’s a blueprint to living the fullest life possible, even when darkness overshadows all light.
The goal of the book is to inspire others who can create an opportunity for themselves, to follow their dreams. Please read this book often to help you stay focused. In this life, we do not have the luxury to live to 500 years old. We are lucky to live to 90. With that said, we should make every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year count. It is important to always move in the direction that will bring you closer to realizing your dreams and living a positive life.
My mom always tell us that our greatness always comes from within and to lean on god whenever we are in doubt. Thank you
