Life & Career Milestones
I've taken a lot of twists and turns
1.
First I taught high school physical education and english. Liked students better than subjects!
2.
Got into great schools: psychiatric hospitals, detention centers, and teen mom schools.
3.
Moved to Middle East...found an International School there, with all kinds of fun kids.
4.
Found a woman's transitional house who needed me to raise funds and educate the public.
5.
Then I went to coaching school with another friend from my High School!
6.
Realized people need to make their lives better! And they deserve to have the best life ever!
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
Why on earth are you leaving North America? You always go into strange and dangerous places.
How I responded:
I just listened to my heart. And I love the saying, "What do you have to lose?" If I can answer 'nothing important', I go full steam ahead!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
No one really knew how to take my new wealth of information. They all thought I was trying to be argumentative. I had to keep an open ear to listen more, and recognize not all learning comes from school. They were smart, too!
