Description

This story discusses a few key events that occurred during my lifetime and the perspectives that I was able to gain from each of them. For as long as I could remember my life has been unpredictable. Its been like one roller coaster ride with every twist and turn enlightening me to the harsh and pleasant realities of life.

I am often asked how I ended up where I am and how I came to be in Taiwan. I get asked about how I landed my career and how Ive been able to travel so freely at such a young age. Interestingly enough I am often asked these questions by people whose lives and experiences I admire, and who encouraged me to want to do more than what I was currently doing.

After observing the reactions and responses to my story each time it was told to someone new I decided it best to share my experiences with as many people as possible. There were times my own self-doubt could have prevented me from experiencing something. By relinquishing that doubt and steadily moving forward several doors were opened for me. The hope is to take what I have been able to learn from saying yes more than no, and being placed in situations where the outcome was unknown yet maintaining a positive attitude, will encourage more people to do the same.
