About Sam

My first most memorable “what will you do when you grow up” discussion was in an 8th grade classroom with four friends. “Lawyer”, “Doctor”, “Businesswoman”, and “Professor” they answered. And my response was “Housewife”. My thirteen year old self saw the writings on the wall and did not even bother to dream.

I repeated this answer again years later in my International Finance course when a professor asked all the students what they want to do after college. He was a bit taken back by the answer and quickly moved on to the next student. The truth is I never thought I could achieve beyond a “Housewife”.

I was raised in a community where almost everyone ends up in food or retail businesses with rare exceptions especially for young girls. I was told the fact that I made it to college was a blessing. A degree would look good on paper for potential suitors.

Nevertheless, I have achieved beyond a “Housewife” and I’m writing to encourage others to dream and aspire for more in life. You can make it happen. Do not give up and keep going.

    I together with my friends came looking at the nice key points found on your site while unexpectedly I had a horrible feeling I never expressed respect to the web site owner for those strategies. The women were as a result stimulated to read all of them and now have certainly been using those things. Thank you for getting indeed considerate as well as for considering varieties of extraordinary subject areas most people are really needing to understand about. My very own sincere apologies for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.
