Rhea’s Real Story of Resilience

Rhea grew up as the oldest from 6 sisters. and figure things out in an environment

that didn’t always give them what they needed. Life taught her early that nothing

would be handed to her. She had short hair and a quiet toughness about her—something

built from watching, enduring, and learning when to keep going. Rhea graduated Elkins

high school, but the path after wasn’t clear. She enrolled in school again,

hoping it would lead somewhere better, but life had other plans. She stepped away.

Relationships didn’t work out the way she hoped. Each ending left its mark,

and for a while it felt like she was falling behind while everyone else moved forward.
