I was teased and bullied in school but today I am confident and self-assured. Academically, I wasn’t the greatest in math or writing yet I had a successful career as an accountant and now as a writer and provider of online content. So you see your start maybe rocky, but it doesn’t have to seal your fate. You don’t have be the homecoming queen, the sports star, the most popular, or even the honor student. But you can become a vanguard, a leader, a major force in this world.
