Q: How does it feel having achieved what most people don’t in a lifetime? on graziadaily.com
A: It’s unreal. I still wake up every morning in awe of how blessed I’ve been. Watching my hard work and dedication manifest into so many incredible achievements is enough to leave anyone in a state of disbelief sometimes. All this and I’m not even 29 years old yet! It’s an out of body feeling sometimes, especially when I meet young people who remind me how my work has touched them or changed their lives.
