As a counselor, I worked with refugees in camps who were forced to flee their country due to war. My role as a counselor at the refugee camp was to raise awareness about mental illness, conduct individual and group therapy sessions, and provide adults and young kids with better coping strategies.
I went through a lot of ups and downs growing up — my life was no easy ride. Sometimes when you are knocked around by life, it can weaken your self-esteem, lower your confidence, and discourage you from achieving your personal and professional goals. At times I was so confused about everything around me, I didn’t know who I wanted to be, or how to find meaning, and even if life was worth living in the first place.
I was also confused about my career path. After years of this confusion, I discovered an important truth — the way forward lies within me. As I searched for that inner power, I began to overcome my life challenges and obstacles. I had found the guiding force that now helps me live a healthier, happier, and more successful life.
