Jennifer Montoya

My name is Jennifer Montoya.

I knew a girl who was very shy. She had severe social limitations and man was she mean. There was something about her that I couldn't figure out.

She had been running in the streets for a few years when I met her around the age of 15. By the time she was 19 she was pregnant and in a volitle relationship that was going to end badly. By the time she was 20 she had 2 babies, and an "I don't give an f**k attitude".

One thing remained very clear- she was a miserable young mother with no income, a horrible temper, and an addiction to the streets. There was a disconnect I could see through here eyes. A sadness that lingered and she was crying out for help.

I would look at her often and something was always missing. As the years passed by she changed for sure on the outside but there was still that violent temper and those miserable eyes.

YES THIS IS ME

I am going to share with you a lot of hard times, bad choices, and how they got me into some trouble. I would not be where I am today if I didn't learn something from all that s**t. It's important to emphasize this point. I am also going to tell you what I didn't do and why it took me so long to figure out that I HAD to DO IT.

I am going to share all the crazy, heart-wrenching, disfuntional, happy, epic moments that I have had along the way. Hopefully one of these stories I will share will resonate with you and you will pay it forward. I am going to be taking risks, and I am sure making mistakes a long the way.
