Story Shoot Edition #6: Alysha Smith




Who are you?  
 Alysha Smith










Where are you from?   
Middle Lake










Why did you want to participate? 
 To lend my support to an initiative that supports women.


What is a defining moment that challenged you and made you a stronger person? 
 Death

 

 How were you able to overcome adversity and what did it teach you about yourself?   
With the support of family, friends and a firm belief I will see my loved ones again.  I have learned to make the most of today and not take anything or anyone for granted.
 






 
What would you tell a younger version of yourself today? 
 Live life to its fullest, you are not promised tomorrow.







My Story

I lost my grandmother to heart disease,

I lost another to cancer, 
I lost a dear friend to cancer, 
And then I lost another, 
I lost my uncle to cancer, 
I lost my grandpa to cancer, 
I lost my uncle (godfather) in a car accident, 
I lost my best 4-legged friend to poisoning, 
And finally, I lost myself.. 
Somewhere, somehow, 
I found light in the darkness, 
I found hope in tomorrow, 
I found a smile on my face, 
                                                                       I found the strength to live again.
