My Life

Many unique and challenging life experiences have shaped my life and have positively influenced my aspiration to be of service to the community. At age eighteen I was addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Growing up with divorced parents was quite a task for me, and only seeing my father every other weekend took a huge toll on my life. My older siblings basically planned out my future with their every mistake, my parents never gave me the opportunity to mess up. The only stress…
