How did/does family shape your perception of strength? I grew up with a single mother with 3 kids, she showed me that hard work and dedication can shape a great life. She was so strong for us even when I knew it was hard, we now live the best lives possible all because of her strength.
When has your strength been personally challenged and how did you respond? My strength was challenged when I was in a bad relationship, I didn't feel any self worth. I thought I deserved the things that were said to me. I ended up realizing I deserve better and worked out and stayed busy with friends and a year later now realized how much happier I am without that person. I have learned so much self worth.
Lauren’s Intentional Act of Kindness
How did you use the $100? I gave my $100 to one person close to me who just lost her job during the pandemic, I knew she needed it for groceries and essential items. I already wanted to help her out in any way possible and when this was given to me I knew I wanted to help her even more.
What was the ‘Intentional Act of Kindness’ process like for you? It was a wonderful feeling; I love to help people in any way I possibly can. Even small gestures can make someone’s day and as soon as I gave her that money she looked at me and cried, I knew it was meant to be her to receive it.
