I am nervous and excited to be able to share this story with you. After completing my story, my recording was well over 20 minutes long. I’ve managed to cut it down to 7 minutes, however I am somewhat saddened by the fact that I could not fit all that I wanted to say into 6 minutes. This has inspired me. I feel like this is a sign that maybe I need to write my story out and share it with others in the hopes of inspiring someone else to make a change.<\/p>\n
I am a very different person than I once was. I focus my energy on helping other people and giving back to my community rather that letting all of my energy be taken from me by this struggle. I spend time coaching, volunteering, organizing open mic nights where people can showcase their talents and donating time to my parish community.<\/p>\n
A few months ago, I was approached by an owner of a local gym. She told me she had been following my story on social media and she wondered what it would take to have me on her staff. She helped me to get certified as a bootcamp instructor. I believe that this is a sign that people are already inspired by my journey.<\/p>\n
I have so much to learn about leadership but have sincerely appreciated all that this course has taught me. Thank you for listening.<\/p>\n
