"On my first day, I felt like I did not belong. I felt like I was unqualified. That’s the thing: the people around here, I don’t know if it’s just the culture or the area where we are, but these people around here, they just encourage you: 'You can do it!' and 'Let me show you this, there’s nothing to it!' I mean, really, they forced me out of my element, even into where I am right now. I belong now. I definitely belong now. I don’t feel out of place. I feel like I have a better handle on things compared to when I was younger and easily intimidated. I feel like I belong now.
"My goal right now is to find a need and fill it. That’s my thing. And that’s all through life. Any job, any position. That’s the goal. Find the need. Find what you’re good at. And you fill that need."
