When I think about the moments that positively impacted my life, I remember the emotions I felt. I felt love, gratitude, immense happiness, and empowerment. These moments all had one thing in common, a person. Yes, one person can truly make a great impact. Now imagine a community of amazing, loving and nurturing individuals – 10,000 Degrees was that for me. As a college graduate, the biggest impact I’ve had in the life of others is being present. I choose to be deeply involved in my community because through my involvement, I have the opportunity to share my experiences and offer my support to individuals on the path to creating the life they desire for themselves.
