She resolved to become a responsible, financially independent adult, and soon achieved her long-time dream of owning her own manicure business.
But after she found herself, at age sixteen, in juvenile hall, Laila realized it was time to make a change in her life.
As an adolescent, she became increasingly drawn into negative behavior.

In fifteen straight-talking, hard-hitting rounds, Laila offers her dynamic formula for physical, emotional, and mental power, and demonstrates how to sidestep feelings of self-pity and defeatism.
In this revealing book, she describes - with striking humility and a streetwise wisdom beyond her years - how she made many mistakes along the way, but eventually managed to overcome every obstacle that life threw at her.
