Precious

Yes I have and I thought it was a very well made movie. Believe it or not, things like this are going on every day. I worked with HIV/Aids pts for 12 years. While Precious had a rough life, she rose above it and achieved. A lot of people would not know how to get on with their life. My parents were not the best, and I left the day after I turned 18 as a female and went in the army during Vietnam era. I did not just go in the Army I ran. I wanted out of the past I was raised in. I was fortunate enough that my parents didnt have any more children than me. or I would have stayed home to protect them. While this is a very dark and shameful movie in one light, it is a very genuine hope that some of us can crawl out of that dark place and gain respect for ourselves. Thats what the Army gave me Respect to God, Country and myself. And for that chance of a new start I am ever greatful for being female and being allowed to go in the Army.
