"I really felt it when he said for some, getting employment is the beginning of another mountain to climb. I am 31 years old and I just got my first job at a super private high school since graduating in 2022. I have a mountain to climb. My family is looking at me to change their lives for the better. I'm glad I do not have children yet, which allows me to focus on improving the lives of my mother and siblings. Life is not easy but that's the beauty of it because you get to look back and appreciate how far you have been and all that you have accumulated. The blessings will come just keep working on yourself. Dankie Sbuda for bringing all these people to inspire us.
