Beating the Odds: My Story

Description

Follow your dreams, but dream big and make sure that you have a structured plan. Don't believe in the word "or," only in "and." Instead of looking to make choices, see how you can combine. We all have the right to happiness. Why not pair your interests with a challenging degree, for example, if you're looking for true success? I'm a makeup artist and YouTuber. I could have gone to film or beauty school, but I didn't do either. Instead, I became a civil engineer!

Bring something different to the table. Figure out what makes you "you" and then go get the training necessary to make you unstoppable. Embrace your uniqueness, travel that road less traveled, find your own niche and in that area make yourself the best possible.

Stay focused, work hard, and surround yourself with the right kind of people in order to get to your final destination. Find yourself a good mentor, get involved, give back to your community and get your name out there in order to put yourself in "lucky" situations. Create your own luck and be ready for those opportunities when they come knocking at your door. Your decisions should be structured and planned, not solely based on not wanting to remain poor.

Ethics, integrity, and a need to make a positive contribution to the world we live in should be your driving force. Take pride in everything that you do and everything else will fall into place in due course! No matter what kind of "natural disasters" try to knock you down along the way, a strong foundation will keep you, your career, and your dreams standing at the end of every day.
