Through adversity we rise again. [] Maya Angelou was born April 4, 1928. She is an American autobiographer and has been called "America's most visiable black female autobiograper". She has had a tough life with being sexually abused and raped by her mother's boyfriend. He went to jail for when day and then was let out. He died a few days later and Maya thought it was her fault. She would barely talk for the next 5 years. She went to her grandma's and there she started to talk more. She liked dancing and would have contnieud but she had a baby. It was later in her life when she started writing. These words mean even through hard times we still keep moving forward. I like this quote becasue what it means is very true and relates to my life. I was 4 when my parents divorced and 8 when my mom got married and moved to Dillon. It was hard to see my family apart and for awhile there i was mad at everyone. But i finally got through it and now I'm a better person for it. Its made me stronger.
