"[...] it has been amazing to discover myself and start to live all aspects of myself from my soul and my core beliefs."

It is thanks to Lifebook and Jon and Missy’s generosity that I am able to think about categories in my life that I have never done before. 

I have been a mom since I was very young. When my boy was 1,5 we decided to go to Paris with the dad so he could pursue his studies and we learned French. I decided then to pursue my studies, too but the dad left us and returned to Colombia. Since then I thought that I will never want to tell my story as a dramatic one. I consider myself a warrior and I will get the best of the situation. We stayed for 5 more years until I finished my studies. I worked, studied and my boy went to school. My life has been amazing and hard and fun and courageous and hard but it hasn’t been a dramatic one, I am not a victim. 

I am telling my story because when you are a single mom that young, you don’t have the privilege to think about a lot of things because life keeps you busy and you have to go on. Now I can, it hasn’t been easy, I cried a lot in this process but it has been amazing to discover myself and start to live all aspects of myself from my soul and my core beliefs. I could not thank you enough for this journey.
