The path to health and financial freedom begins with you
About Me
A few of my older brothers and sisters had jobs, but my mom could still barely afford to feed or clothe us. I remember only being able to have one dress a year and sometimes not even having pencils in school. There were times that I remember actually going with my friends to their houses hoping that when their parents fed them I would get some food too. In spite of the hardships, though, I was actually one of the top students in school. It’s those early experiences that make me feel that sometimes we are forced to live life to its fullest when you have to and do whatever it takes to create your own success. My training started very early in childhood.
When I was about 12 years old, my brother, who had already left the country and moved to the United States, asked my mom to bring the rest of us and join him. It took my mom a long time to decide to move, but finally all of us left the country. We immigrated to Italy where we stayed for about nine months. I learned to speak Italian really well while I was there thanks to my passion for learning. After our stay in Italy we moved to New York where we ended up in the Bronx. When we got there my mom refused to allow me to continue schooling. That was devastating to me. I was so looking forward to continuing my education because I had been out of school for about nine months.
When I was about 14 or 15, my friends, the ladies I
worked
with, kept saying that I needed to go to some
kind of school. They introduced me to a couple of girls who were going
to
hairdressing school, and I decided I wanted to go too. So I started
begging my
mom to let me go, and after four months she finally agreed.
We moved to Florida ten years later where I ended up buying two more salons. Needless to say, my career was very successful. But that's when I started having problems with my health. I've done hair for 30 years now and the past 10 years, I have become very passionate about maintaining my health and taking care of myself properly. But when my friend, one of my coworkers who worked for me in one of my salons, suggested I look at USANA, I kind of blew her off.
Then a few months later I decided to ask her about the products just to kind of make her feel better-so she wouldn't think I was ignoring her. It turned out to be one of best decisions I had ever made.
