Damaris' story is so intriguing. It should challenge and inspire all of us, and be shared by all of us. Not everyone goes through what she went through and becomes what she is. She went through a lot of trials and temptations at a young age, unintentionally made bad choices along the way, realized at a young age that she was taking the wrong path and decided to change course, and she's now inspiring the world at a young age. Her story tells us that it is possible to overcome our bad choices, including addictions, become better people and be of a positive impact to society. Her story is a story of hope and strength. It tells us that we can overcome life's hardships and challenges, and become who we aspire to be in life. Her story calls us to seek and know God's purpose for our lives, if we are to live our dreams. She deserves every form of appreciation, support and encouragement for gathering the courage to share such a sensitive, but life changing story. Damaris Kimani, I sympathize with you for what you went through at such a tender age. But, I celebrate the wisdom, courage and positive energy that you carry. Continue to be the positive force of change that God's purposed your life for. Never lose way, greatness awaits you! Lots of love from South Korea!
