My life has been a series of who am I? What do I want? HOW do I get there?? As a kid I wanted to be a cook, artist, writer, and my own boss. When career day would come around I would spend the week leading up to the day asking myself, “Where do I want to be?” I always knew I wanted to be in charge, but I never had a plan or thing I wanted to do. A business was portrayed as selling a product or service… but what the hell am I even passionate about? What would I sell?
I felt like every teen did; like I knew it ALL.
When high school came around I actually had a life changing experience. I always knew I was different from others, but when I fell sick my freshman year I started to see the issue. As I physically declined, I mentally declined…quick. I noticed my mental health was off but not until after the storm. I had doctors recommend to my mom that I talk to someone, and to be honest I denied it. I was sure I was in control of myself, my emotions, and my well-being. Turns out I absolutely was not. I have always felt connected with myself. I felt like every teen did; like I knew it ALL. I know myself, I know what I need. GIRL NO YOU DON’T!
Coming to the realization that I did in fact; need help, was a crazy moment for me. I became consumed with mental health. I never wanted another kid to feel the way I did. That is when I found a true work ethic and passion to better myself. I managed to get my GPA from a 2.5 to a 3.6 and graduated with a list of acceptance letters. One thing I never saw coming was staying in my home state. Girl I was READY to leave!!! Well, as a last minute (week before final call) I accepted my letter to Rutgers University. Honey, those in state rates SAVED ME. Besides the point, I started my mission to become a child psychologist.
I went through the schooling, worked in the field, worked with absolute life changing kids and professionals… and yet I was still unfulfilled.
As you have come to realize… that is not where I ended up. To keep a long story very short; I went through the schooling, worked in the field, worked with absolute life changing kids and professionals… and yet I was still unfulfilled. EEP That is when I came across my now mentor ( the lovely Lauriel Arkeah and the stunning LifewithLeenor) and I JUMPED into the waters of entrepreneurship. SO, I mixed my two loves. I finally found the thing that would set my soul on fire, all while still being an indirect positive effect on the Maria’s of the world. One thing I can talk about for hours is my meaning in life. I believe full heartedly that you can create your own destiny, and I believe it will happen because you were meant to have it. Things just seem right. I would love to take you on a journey filled of the ups and downs, the background of decisions, and the way I got here. If you would love to hear it; Like and comment on my post!
