This love story belongs to Debbie Adams, originally from Upper Island Cove, Newfoundland.

Opportunity is the concept that feeds our thirst to progress in life. Our role models and peers often teach us to take opportunities free of fear and baggage - that the world is our oyster.

But what if you grew up in a small, remote community that lacked role models who matched your expectations in life? From her early childhood, Debbie was the square peg, driven by a dream that one day she'd find her fit.

Life continuously threw Debbie curveballs and she herself found routes that felt like deadends.

But after all that, Debbie built her dream life. Now full of joy, experience and generosity, she has become the role model that little girl from Upper Island Cove needed.
