Hi everyone! My name is Delia. I am currently a student of physical therapy first year. I will be going to Rutgers Newark in NJ in September. I am currently a personal trainer. I will be starting a position at the YMCA soon. I am taking it as a way for practice and convince myself I am able to train someone and get them results. I have been working at a hospital setting since 2017. I came in the system not knowing what I wanted to do even though I knew I wanted to be a PT. I gave myself so many excuses as to why I wouldn't do PT. I was nurses aide for 5 months, found out quickly it was not for me. I didn't like nursing. I transferred to the PT outpatient department. I learned that the therapists are drained and disappointed in the system. They would complain about everything and they were unhappy even though they seem to like and respect the profession. I thought to myself there has to be a better way if I truly want to be a Physical Therapist. If not I will not go back to school. I googled "entrepreneur physical therapist" and I did deep research in google and then on Instagram. I somehow found Greg and started following him.
Why do I want to make this happen & Passion : For my family. I want them to know that all their efforts are worth it. I want our situation to change. I am very desperate to make this happen so my dad doesn't have to work so hard. He is the breadwinner of the house. My dad is 71 years old. He deserves better situation.
Who taught me about money. My dad (God bless him) is the only one who has earned. We have always lived paycheck to paycheck. My mom and dad pushed me to go to school so I can earn more. They don't know any better. As immigrants they just want me to live a better life than they did in their home land.
My dad could not really educate me about money. My parents would tell me to save my money. Yet, every time I did it needed to be withdrawal for something else. If the bank charged overdraft I would withdrawal money from my savings. I really lack financial education. My dad went bankrupt and all he taught me was not go to bankrupt. Very painful experience because he is the breadwinner and my sister and I were very young at that time.
