I know that I am not the only person who has had to persevere in life in order to beat the odds that seemed to be stacked up against me. My purpose in life originated from the darkest places that I have so often stumbled and felt my way through in my greatest trials. My desire is to coach our youth to find their own way while placing one foot in front of the other and never walking backwards as the journey gets tough and as the unknown creates two drastically different paths to choose from. Head held high, hands wide open and hopeful heart full of gratitude here is the reason I am hopeful!
