Joe has had his entire family taken away from him. He has experienced fear in a way that is hard for me to fully comprehend. When one of his children that he and his wife had adopted died from very sad circumstances (the birthmother was a drug addict) the state stepped in and without a fair investigation he found his entire life ripped away. They took his kids and his wife ended up sentenced to life in prison. Joe was not sure if the state was going to also try and lock him in prison as well. Joe spent days when he didn’t know if he could function or how he would move forward in life. But he did, he reached out to his family and friends for support. He teaches classes on financial literacy and works with people who are getting out of the prison system to make sure that they can find a stable path forward. He also teaches math to his students. Surrounding himself with support but also providing so much love and support to others has helped Joe move forward one day at a time.

Sam became class president of his high school. But in his pursuit of achievements he realized that he had conformed to what he thought other people wanted him to be. He wanted to be liked and popular so he changed his personality to fit in with the cool crowd. This worked for him for a little while but he soon realized that he wasn’t happy after all. He wasn’t being authentic to what his inner callings and voice was. So once he found himself as the class president he started making changes to the school for the better. He established the LBTG club and created more opportunity for inclusion for all the students. Once he found his inner voice that was more inline with who he felt like he was at his core and belief in himself - it made him feel better and the other students respected him for having a voice that made the community better.

Andrew has grown up with high functioning autism. He was afraid that he would spend his entire life without making a real connection with someone or have friends the way other “regular people” have relationships. He was afraid that he would be made fun of for being different. Recently Andrew was able to challenge his fear when his mom found a autistic group that meets up for events. It felt scary at first to go but the second Andrew stepped foot into the meetup he knew that his fear of not ever being able to make real friends was just in his mind and that he soon would form relationships and friendships with people in this group.

Rimi Ejner is full of ambition and goals. When she sets her mind to do something, it is obvious that nothing will stand in her path to success. Rimi shows us that even though something is scary and challenging when you face it and do it anyway your life becomes rewarding and exhilarating. When Rimi had the opportunity to try out for the boys football and baseball teams she jumped at the chance to play. It turned out she was really good at it too. She also put in the extra work to study the biomechanics and she analyzes the game fundamentals to the point where she gave herself an edge to win and succeed. Even though her teammates doubted her abilities she never let this alienate her or question if she was going to play or not. In fact it made her work even harder to show them that she was a superstar. Listen to Rimi’s amazing story of fighting against the status quo and challenging gender stereotypes to become a respected teammate on “the boys” teams. https://www.instagram.com/rimi.ejner/
