Manage episode 376341923 series 3011734
Ever wonder how the chaos of college life can shape a person's future? With a past riddled with dorm life alongside a thief and drug dealer, to a desperate search for acceptance through underage drinking and drugs, join me as I bare my tumultuous journey to you. I'll take you through my transfer to Youngstown State University, the reckoning of academic seriousness, and the forging of positive relationships with my professors amidst the chaos.
But the journey doesn't stop there. I also delve into the quick-fix mentality I adopted, experimenting with vitamins, herbs and minerals to get ahead in academia and my career. However, the unchecked alcohol abuse and partying that began in college became a monstrous part of my life, even after graduation. This journey is not just about transformation and self-discovery amidst chaos, but also an insight into the realization of the need for personal growth and positive influence. This is my story, and it might just be what you need to hear today.
