THANKFUL

They say the third generation is where legacies are either cemented or lost. For a decade, I was lost. I went from starving and buried in debt to physically shattered—surviving a hit-and-run and a facial reconstruction that nearly took my will to live. I was inches away from giving up on everything.

Then on my birthday when I was close to my lowest point came an email and somehow among over 5thousand others I saw it an offer to join the company I’ve tried and tried and tried to be a part of to no avail and here they are reaching out to me of all people.

Joining this company isn't just a career move; it is a homecoming of sorts going all the way back to the early days of the company on the very same ground back to when it was known by a different name before the multi billion dollar facilities were built the way it is now the luxurious workplace it is now I am following the footsteps of two generations before me, two generations who had all but given up on me being anything two generations that died believing I was a lost cause… but because of that I am bringing a perspective they never had to endure. I know what it’s like to have nothing, which is why I will give this everything. My dreams didn't die on that gravel road. They were forged there. To anyone who thinks I’m just lucky to be here: I didn't just get an opportunity. I survived long enough to claim it.

Watch me work.
