I will not give up... I will not surrender!&nbsp; When life gets me down, I will keep getting back up - no matter what!&nbsp; When life gives me lemons, I will not only make lemonade but I will sell it and survive because of it."<br /><br />When I was a kid I got teased with my last name, "Reebel"...They would say..."Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!"... It was this little egg shaped toy filled with a weight at the bottom and looking like a person.&nbsp; Named Weeble-Wobbles.&nbsp; Inevitably, you would push them down or knock them down and they would get right back up and keep moving!<br /><br />My name is Derran Reebel.... I am a Weeble Wobble.&nbsp; Life sometimes pushes me down but I get right back up and keep pressing forward!<br />No matter what people bring my way...No matter how many times a person judges me or is mean to me... I will not give up.&nbsp; I will NOT surrender!&nbsp; Successful people don't quit when times get tough...they reevaluate their lives and change for the better!<br /><br />What will YOU do?
