Meet an inspiring person with which Aaron Marino of alpha m. worked over the weekend. Alex is a 24 year old guy who recently graduated and is in the work-force. He needed some help presenting himself and dressing. He wanted to set himself above his peers as well.
He came across as a very confident and sharp guy. They started with shopping and then over lunch, they really started to talk. Alpha really became inspired. Alex came from a really broken home, and he grew up dirt poor. With the father out of the picture, Alex’s mother worked to support the family.
When Alex is 12 years old with two siblings (one younger / one older), his mother herniated a disc while at work and subsequently became paralyzed from the waist down as a result of surgery. She got hooked on pain medications.
Until about the 11th grade, he had zero friends. He was picked on and made fun of– he was the poor kid that didn’t have money for lunches and wore the same clothes every day. His family became reclusive, Alex became unhappier, and then Alex went on anti-depressants.
One day, Alex decided one day to have social skills and have friends. He accomplished the goal and decided he wouldn’t revert to where his family came from. He hit the books and studied hard. He got a full scholarship and had a double major. He was hired right out of college.
Alex made the decision to make his life better for himself. He decided to be happy, healthy, and successful- and he did it. You can dwell on the past or you can use the past to make yourself stronger. It’s up to you to decide your what your future and legacy is going to be.
