I have to admit that before starting this MKE journey my life was in chaos. I had made several ‘bad” decisions in recent years that obviously created my current living situation. I was getting down on myself for various reasons and started to reflect on where exactly I got off track. My life goals were nowhere in sight and I wondered if things would ever turn around.

I hesitated to submit the application for the scholarship thinking that I wouldn’t get selected or that I would be too “busy” to even participate. I am glad that I did it and I am excited to attack each exercise and assignment that comes along. Up until now, I hadn’t stopped to really understand why I was repeating the same up and down cycles in my life which kept giving me the same results. I see that my “blueprint” had conditioned me to fail.

I was truly intrigued when Mark J. said that by changing my blueprint I can be, “Living a life with purpose, on purpose, of purpose”. This is only the second week and I am so thrilled to be a part of this 2023-2024 class!
