30 Years
Born in Germany, when I was 6 my parents split up.
By the age of 8 moved to Belgium where I struggled to fit in.
My mom who is of Filipino Origin went to Germany when she was 20.
Had me when she was 27 and raised me in a country she didn’t know.
Again a different language but she gave her all to provide me with what I needed.
But due to not understanding teachers and the language barrier and being bullied.
I Became obsessed with eating and gained weight up to 120kg when I was 12 years old.
4 years went by and I turned 16, going to school with FEAR of my rapport card every month.
I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Learning Disabilities.
It was like a gift from God I finally understood I was not normal.
there were 2 options.
keep living like before. OR 2. I adapt and find solutions
I chose to adapt and find solutions
I changed schools and instead of focusing on my brain went to culinary school.
Started doing side jobs and student jobs in Restaurants and bars.
20 graduated from Culinary school and started working as a manager in a Bubbletea place.
Earning minimum wage I realized how much everything costs and that life is expensive.
I had a new problem. Money
So I started looking into it how do you keep and make money.
I learned about businesses, sales, investments, Taxes, marketing, networking, etc…
So I started a business left the bubble tea place AND FAILED HARD.
