It led me to getting the support I needed to overcome challenges in the early years of development in my life,” Tony told Upworthy. “I was fortunate to have been able to get an early diagnosis. He believes that being diagnosed early played a huge role in his success.

That’s why we’re updating our policies to help people take more control of their online presence in Search,” Michelle Chang, Google’s Global Policy Lead for Search, announced on the company’s blog. “Open access to information is a key goal of Search, but so is empowering people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private. On April 27, the company announced it will allow anyone to request removals of their personal information from its Search feature. The good news is that Google just made a big change that gives us all a little more control over our personal information. What makes the situation even worse is that our information was put online without any of our consent. The fact that this information is readily available puts us all in the dangerous position of being the victim of fraud, stalking and violence. With a few keystrokes just about anyone can get your home address, phone number, email, age and the names of your family members. In the internet era, the idea of personal privacy is all but a myth.

We may not have control over what life throws at us, but we always have control over how we handle it. “I have had to wear more hats than I did before, but I've learned that it is just an opportunity to learn new things and to be an example to my kids in a way I hadn't planned on. “A sudden detour into single motherhood was a long way from the journey I thought I was on,” said Johnson Lane.
