Growing up I never saw myself doing anything big with my future. I didn’t dream, have passion for anything, or set long term goals. I just always thought that only certain people got to do big things and for whatever reason, I wasn’t one of them. I grew a friendship with Janine around my junior year of high school. She taught me that more possibilities were open to me than I thought and I wouldn’t need a miracle either, just a little dedication and hard work. She not only helped me find things I was passionate about, she also provided information and advice where she could along the way. Janine reassured me when I was feeling down and taught me that I really can dream big and do more than I ever thought possible. I would recommend a little coffee date with Janine to anyone. She is one of the most personable people I know and always ready to help. I have valued our friendship for years and look forward to many more in her company.
