Monica J. – Trainer and Under Armour Woman

College was a huge piece of that and I paid for it on my own. I waited tables from age 17 up until 25 and in that industry it’s very easy to continue keep going. You make cash, you make friends, you drink for free. That kind of stuff makes you complacent.

One of the darkest times for me was being in college knowing that I was paying a lot of money for something that wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do when I got out. I didn’t have the money to continue paying for it. I was really just down on myself and it was the people around me who thought the most of me that picked me up. It’s about no matter what you’re going through still treating the people around you with love and still sharing what you’re going through with them. Because if you don’t they don’t know and no one can help you.
