Resilience
The ability to bounce back, be happy,
successful after being bent, stretched, and pressed out of shape by life’s challenges,
difficulties, and horrors.
Hi, I am Scott
V. L. Mac, and I’m Resilient.
I have overcome many obstacles to become the
strong, resilient person that you see here today. I am a mom of four (4) who
has had to make the heart-wrenching decision of giving up two of my kids for
adoption. I have been through 2 divorces and abusive relationships. I spent 4.5
years working in Iraq as a civilian alongside the US Marines and Army at the Al
Asad, Al Taqaddum airbases.
I lost my home in a fire and was left with just
the clothes on my back. (I discuss the heartbreaking reason why in my autobiography
- Resilience of a Black Woman). I fought relentlessly for custody of my
kids because they wanted to stay with me. I lost my mom to cancer nine months
before leaving for Iraq.
As you can see, I not a stranger to
difficulties. But I always get up, dust myself off, and keep going. Today, I
own my own home, and I’m working for the local government driving the city bus.
And I’m doing something I love – publishing stories, fictional and
non-fictional.
Fun Facts
About Me
I have a cookie obsession.
I loved cookies so much when I was 3 years old,
I took money out of my dad’s pocket and went next door to Porters Laundry (the
lady had an ole school store) in the back of her dry cleaning store. Mrs.
Porter had to walk me home afterward because, little did I know, I had taken
out $100 to buy cookies. My mom later came home to find me perched on top of
the TV, eating cookies. I still have that picture and dress till today
I love driving big vehicles.
I have driven trucks, tankers, refers,
containers, school buses, and charter buses. Any size vehicle, put me behind
the wheel, and it’s a go.
