One of the reasons I love teaching for Berlitz (and living in Miami) is because I get to meet people from all over the world. Additionally, many times I get to meet people with incredible stories and inspirational lives. Today was no exception.
I had an English student today who was literally driven out of Venezuela by Hugo Chavez because she funded his opponent’s presidential campaign many years ago. A very wealthy woman in South America, Chavez stripped her and her family of everything they owned and shipped them off to the United States with nothing.
When she landed here she started a cleaning business from scratch. Since then she has founded a few other businesses and now works as an immigration attorney in Miami. She is also a mother of three and the founder of a foundation for women who have been abused, an issue close to her heart as she herself was a victim of abuse. She also finds time to meditate, cook, clean, work out, pamper herself, and have a social life. When I asked her how she does it all she simply replied, “My work is my passion.”
The moral of the story is you CAN achieve your dreams. All you need are some guts and plenty of elbow grease.
Speaking of which, if you haven’t already done so you should check out one of my favorite blogs, The Middle Finger Project. The author also has an incredible story and has quite pair of gonads.
