"Growing up, I was always accused of talking too much
and all I wanted to do was teach. When I  presented my
first seminar, I remember looking up and saying ‘So this
is why You put me on earth.’ At that moment I knew I
had found my calling and that I had a responsibility to
use my God-given talent to educate and enlighten
others."
