[00:33.08] Struggling with no one to lean on
[00:35.27] But with prayer she would be strong
[00:37.55] Had a job but then she was laid off
[00:39.33] Got a better education and it paid off
[00:41.64] she was called for a job that she dreamed of
[00:43.80] Close by, great pay -she was in love
[00:45.78] They brought her in, told her she's the number one pick
