About

Wanda Clark

Summary

The mind is complicated. I knew that before I majored in psychology. But I majored in psychology because I love people, and I was tired of seeing people live defeated lives. I was tired of seeing men, women, teens, and children have thought patterns of a fruition life containing some joys but mostly discontentment.
When I worked as a chaplain of approximately 750 inmates and with the orphanage, I learned that anyone could possess hope with a constructive mind no matter of one's past. When I worked as a nurse in the obstetrics, gynecology oncology, and abortion department, I also learned that hope never runs out—working on this floor taught me how to be consistent and strong in hope, when dealing with death, disappointments, and dire consequences.
So, I have learned that there is no such thing as hopelessness when in Christ; it is just that one has lost focus, and the mind needs to be renewed (Rom. 12:2, New King James Version).

I believe that one person can make a difference, if one chooses to be an active part of that difference.

Proudest Accomplishment

My proudest accomplishment was becoming a mom and the birth of my son.

Allowing the Differences to Bring Us Together or Do We Walk Away?

Have you ever felt like these two critters in the pictures? You find that while you were running to your destination, the person you thought was on your side was the exact one attempting to hold you back. Because of lies, deceit, secrecy, America does not portray all human beings’ equality. Therefore, America cannot rewrite its past. However, neither does anyone who has been abused; their past life cannot be rewritten. Children who have been molested, women and men who have been raped, or...
