I’m proud of the life I build for myself during my twenty years in America.

Make It Work
After my ex-husband and I separated, I had to start over. My own family was far away in Germany and his family wasn’t all that interested in how I was going to manage my life in the future. So I was on my own in a rundown, unsafe neighborhood because I could not afford anything better on minimum wage. Everyone back in Germany thought that I should just come back, to have mom and dad take me in and help me get back on my feet. But I was determined to make a good life for myself, without the help from anyone else. It was a long, rocky road through quite a few valleys. In the end, I have proven to myself and all the people in Germany, who never believed in me to start with, that I can get on just fine on my own. With lots of determination I made it work and reached the hardest personal goal I have ever set for myself. Dare I say it? I am a little bit proud of myself, too. [Gosh it feels wrong to praise myself – won’t happen again].
