My chapter, “Born to Be a Boss,” speaks to some of the challenges that I endured in my life, and due to my perseverance, I was able to push through and achieve my goals. Life was not perfect, and I didn’t have a typical childhood, but I was determined to follow instructions and succeed.
What inspired you to write this story and contribute to the book?
I want to encourage anyone whose future may look hopeless not to give up. It may not be easy, but the sky is the limit if you stay on course and get around like-minded people.
“I hope readers will get inspiration from this chapter. I hope they will realize that it is not where you begin that matters, but what you do after a hardship determines your destiny.”
