What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I'm temporarily a bartender in the mean time. I would like to go back and finish my AA at CPCC and then go back to a university to hopefully find some sort of balance between business and psychology. I'm looking for just about any work right now.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I work for a small business located in Belmont NC. Next week I will be volunteering at the local animal shelter here. And I was hoping to get the ball rolling on volunteer work in places I could see myself potentially working or just for thefun and new experiences to learn.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am the perfect example of a kid who had experienced so many adverse childhood adversities, I agreed 100% with the outcomes of our lives from ACE. I have just started to learn how to create a value system to help find my new direction and path as an adult. If I can share my stories or support in any way, it would really be a dream come true. To be able to help others now that I have already learned to make it this far myself.
I want to participate in something bigger than myself and I want to make a difference in peoples lives. The worst thing for me was always knowing that I was the outcast and had to go do my own thing.
I have been on an uphill battle for just about my whole life and I don't want another child to have to go through this.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I want to become part of the community! I'm just not sure my background check will allow it. So I wanted help in finding the best ways I can contribute right now with limited means
