I’ve made some wrong choices in my life which have negatively affected me as well as my loved ones. I have also been through some hardships which stripped me of my trust, confidence, faith, and love for myself. I found it hard to forget the mistakes of the past and to just let go. For many years I carried a lot of guilt and shame. I came to realize that I not only wanted, but I also needed, a second chance. I found that second chance at Deseret Industries.

Through my experience at Deseret Industries, I’ve not only gotten back my faith in and love for myself, but I’ve gotten back my dignity and pride as well. I have learned to not only trust myself once more, but others as well. My family and friends have told me that they can see the change for the better in me.

I am so glad the DI has given me this opportunity to better myself and become the person I so desperately wanted to become. I really enjoyed the people I worked with and the customers who shop at Deseret Industries.
