Come by, I'm a people person, and I'm always talking to every body and you know you see
people and no body is a stranger to me. I think that is kind of like found me niche,
you know, just sharing with them, and it was just something that, you know, like I said,
it was something that just happened. It wasn't that I wanted to go out and conquer the world,
no, but it was just something that, well the opportunity just presented itself, and it
just felt right, I knew that it was what I needed to do. I have a daughter, and my daughter
died, and I was very very distraught, and you know just was kind of just giving up on
life, and then you run in to people, you see people, and they say to you, you know, you
talk. Then you begin to share your story and they share theirs. It was like wow, you know,
ok. I tell my story then they tell tragedies and things that have happened to them, and
it seem like it just felt right. I didn't go out looking for it, but it is just something
that just happened, and so, from there it kind of like snow balled. What we've been
seeing is a program that comes and is for crime and different things in our area. I
know the director of, and have talked with her. She knew what I was doing and so it kind
of like again, snow balled. I did a thirty hour practicum with the arch house in my field,
a human development field. The women were so, they needed something, and they asked
me, would you come back? A thirty hour practicum turned into like a sixty hour practicum, and
now i'm going to be doing like once a week with these women. Some women are in an abusive
relationships, some women just need to blow off some steam, some women want to know about
their careers, you know, can I go back to school? Do you think this? It's not so much
as what i think, it's really just to empower them. To let them know you can do anything
if you put your mind to it. You know, you can do it. I've done it, I've come from some
hard stages in my life, you know, and so I just like to share that with them that no
matter what it is you can do it! Give back! Mainly these women, have big hearts. They
want to give back, don't know how to give back. So this is basically, you know, what
I'm doing. Just giving back to them so they can pass it along to other people.
