WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS WORK?

I believe this work chose me versus me choosing it.  Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work with various youth programs.  Each program offered the children something of value, but after having the opportunity to engage with the young people one on one, I realized there was an element that could be explored with our youth. 

It is my goal to have Xtreme Intervention Services help children grow into their full potential.  This work allows me the opportunity to do something bigger than me.  It opens the door for me to advocate for those who can’t do it for themselves. We must be willing to give of ourselves so that we can liberate others.
