"Do not go where there is a path. Instead, go where others haven't gone, and leave a trail" Ralph W Emerson 1800's poet
I am a positive motivational speaker (Christ-center). I am a speaker and writer to those with disabilities, because I am one with disabilities too. Born with speech impairment and a low IQ of 76, but by the grace of God and a positive attitude I had overcome them. Community of Believers Christian Church is the church I go to.
Speaking training and experience
I have my public speaking training from Toastmasters. I am a Toastmaster in Akron Club 151 in Akron, Ohio USA. I am an advance Toastmaster and have spoken to Sage Skill Training Data Entry Class three times, twice to the Supervisors of Sage Computer Services, once to Joni and Friends in Akron, Ohio at the Chapel on Fir Hill. I am a speaker for Event Speakers and Indie Community.
Accomplishments
In 1998-1999 I successfully completed training in data entry at Sage Computer Services in Akron, Ohio (Coleman Data Solutions). I am successfully employed at Sage Computer Services for over seven years.
When I was in school, as a slow learner I never knew I could learn to type until 1998 when I took my first typing course at Cuyahoga Falls high school and passed it with an average of 16 words a minute. However, today I can type over 40 words a minute with good accuracy.
My first published article was in Sharing Ideas Magazine April 2005, and I am now working on my second one for the same publication this coming summer. One will also be in Toastmasters magazine in April 2006.
I have training in writing from Jerry Jerkins writing course and Susan Osborne writing course and am listed on as a speaker on Christian Speakers and Indie Community motivational speakers.
