What difference am I going to make in the world? That is a question most people ask themselves

every day. Some knowing the answer and the rest, well never actually finds out.

Growing up everyone wished to become a doctor, NBA player or a teacher. I guess I was

different. I never knew what I wanted to become in life, never knew what I wanted to do with my

life or had big goals.

As I grew up I started to see what the world is like and how cruel it could be. The highs in life

would be high but the lows, were low. Watching as everyone goes through rough times are heart

breaking.

A lot of people do not have the same opportunities as others, I know that by firsthand.

I never had anything handed to me, I had to work harder then the rest to get where I am today.

Even though it had been a rough road it made me a stronger person in the end.

Over the years I have thought a lot about what difference I want to make in the world. I want to

be a safe haven for people who has it rough in life. The difference I want to make in the world is

to help people deal with what they are going through, to help them become a stronger version of

themselves. Something I never had growing up. The difference I want to make is to help people

find peace in the world, to help them fight their demons physically and mentally. By opening a

gym for the less fortunate, it could help children from a young age to make a decision to go to

the gym and better themselves and help them deal with the stuff going on in their lives. All

anyone want in live is someone to help them, someone to be there when everyone left, someone

to pick them up.
