Tell a personal story that has helped motivate you to improve the financial situation of yourself and your clients or community.

In high school I worked at a car wash. I interacted with people from all walks of life. Most days I overheard customers talk about their struggles to make rent or pay other monthly bills.

Listening to these stories had a profound impact on me. I saw how financial stress could weigh heavily on individuals and families, affecting their overall well-being and happiness. It ignited a strong desire within me to make a positive difference in people’s lives by helping them improve their financial situations.
