Angela L. Washington's autobiography makes everybody a believer. Throughout this story, we follow a woman who believed she would overcome all obstacles. Angela defied the odds by coming out with her hands up despite every hurdle and heartbreak. By virtue of her name alone, she triumphed in her life's journey. Angela's journey was no cakewalk, as is the case with most people. The mantra of her life was abuse, depression, and indifference. What if every day you were told that you would end up like your mother, no good and worthless? It crushes the ego of a child. However, Ms. Washington discovered that words do not define who you are. Angela is a college graduate with an Associate of Science in Office Management Systems. She also holds a BA in Psychology. Currently she is seeking to get a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology. Just like in the Hunger Games, the odds were ever in her favor. She beat them with blood, sweat, and tears. God's hands were always on her. Although many times she did not feel his touch, she recognized that he was waiting for her to touch him. She has accomplished many of her dreams and goals and that's why she can say she has reached her other side of through.
