PRESIDENTIAL DIAMOND
Congratulations on Reaching Presidential Diamond Betty Torres SAN ANTONIO , TEXAS , USA
Tell us about your journey to Presidential Diamond .
My journey actually began many years ago when my family came to the United States to escape communism in Cuba . I watched my parents work diligently to provide for our small family in a country that was foreign in every way . After eight years of struggle , an opportunity presented itself , and my parents grabbed at the chance to realize the American dream . Their work ethic and sacrifices led to success in our new country , and they were able to provide opportunities for their daughters to become highly educated .
This might sound like a happy ending , but I soon found that my career as a college teacher would lead to a life of imbalance and financial insecurity . I kept thinking about everything my parents had done to secure freedom for our family , and it didn ’ t honor their sacrifice to be living a life where I felt like a prisoner in a demanding career . The blueprint they had laid was present in my mind as I found the confidence to leave my teaching position and reach for my own American dream .
Along the way , I learned many hard lessons when my traditional business and marriage failed , but I found that perseverance , consistent effort , belief , and work ethic prevail every time .
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to reach Presidential Diamond ?
If you want to have every option available to you in life , keep growing and moving forward every day . Steer away from
