Personal Reflections

When I failed my 10th-grade biology class, I thought my dream was over — but that failure became the turning point that led me to bookkeeping.

A story of compassion, purpose, and release.

Over the years, I’ve discovered something about myself: I express myself best through writing, not speaking. Face-to-face conversations...
