Unexpected turn

This story is about a young girl with a bright future ahead of her,but things were about to happen in her life that she was not expecting,her world was about to be turned upside down,but it was time for her face the truth.

I am a 25 year old woman now,strong and very loud and also very proud,but it took me a few years to get to this place. I was born in 1988.I had such a blessed life from the word go.I had anything and everything my heart desired. I still have two very loving parents,whom I am still living with. I have two sisters,both married,but we still have a very close relationship with each other.
After matriculating in 2006 from Schoonspruit Secondary School in Malmesbury. I applied myself and stated studying  at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I persuade my dream of becoming a teacher,it was a 4 year course. I've always loved working with children and this was something close to my heart,it was my dream job and it was perfect because I love to help children. After my third year of attendance,I met someone very special or at least that's what I thought at the time. He was a perfect gentlemen,he was kind,loving,caring,protecting. So in my eyes he was the perfect man for me,he had all the attributes I always look for in a person.
I fell very fast and hard for that man,I did everything and more for him.I put myself 2nd even 3rd when it came to him.After a few years of being together,he introduced me to a very dark world,a world I would never ever want to be associated with. I was so confused at the time and he told me so many things and of course I believed him or everything he promised me,that was only the begining of my hardship with that man. I was caught up in that world for such a long time,I didn't know how to get out.Our relationship started fading before my eyes,he started abusing me emotionally and later it started getting physical. A lot happened after that I can't even describe what I went through,but I will reveal more soon...

Life kind of hits you when you least expect it,in ways you could never have imagined,but it takes a strong and very dedicated person to rise above that and look ahead and start fresh. It is up to you if you want to learn from your mistakes,your hardship and the problems you've had in the past to become a better person in everything you do in life.
