Being invited into a normal family home, to decorate a Christmas tree, to bake cookies. My mentor helped to get my first proper job, and a driver’s license, she helped me to understand that I am the only person who is in control of my path and I can choose whether it’s a path of greatness or a path of failure. Greatness it is!"
