Today I want to take some time to encourage young people especially my younger family members and especially the ones in Montego Bay to keep believing in yourself no matter what your present situation. Your situation does not define who you are. Unless you are born rich, the only way to be successful in life is through hard work. Never trust get rich schemes and fast money. Remove yourself from anyone who tells you otherwise. Whether you work hard at a skill or trade or you study hard in college and work towards obtaining an academic degree. If you place yourself in the right place at the right time, doors of opportunity will open for you. There is no formula and it is not magic. It is just the way life works. Here are some steps that I took that opened opportunities for me.
1. Firm belief in God.
2. Registering for College
3. Hard work
4. Surrounding myself with positive friends who had ambition
5. Volunteering
Here are some of the rewards I received for taking those steps
I got the opportunity to receive an all expenses paid trip to Washington DC to visit the office of United States Senators. That opportunity opened up further doors for me and the experience I received is one that no one can ever take from me.
In summary, always trust in God and keep believing in yourself. Never trust get rich schemes. Work hard and one day you will achieve success.
