ASC Vision Mentorship, a journey of discovery

In 2020 a DP friend of mine and i were having a conversation about how to grow up learn more and also the right time to get representation. During that time he advised me apply for the ASC Vision mentorship program. It gave me the boost and confidence to do so. As i believed i wasn't up to that level. When i got the letter saying i didn't make it, i kind convinced myself i wasn't good enough and my body of work obviously was not on par. I stayed away from it and just went on work and work but realized i wasn't doing it with the right energy in mind. This year out of the blue another DP friend told me she saw the program was opening soon and she felt like i should do it. At first i was reluctant and realized i still didn't want to face another no. But as i made a deal to myself that i can't back down from 2024 is a year of facing challenges staying out of any comfort zone i applied again. And she was on the process with me all along, discussing with me every piece needed to be submitted. It was a real game changer and when i was done with the process, i ended up telling her how wonderful she has been and the challenge to produce and update everything needed put me at piece. So much at peace i didn't care about the end result as i felt i grew and moved on.

The reason i'm sharing this, is i want to believe it would help someone may be in doubt and also again 2024 goals is me being out there and sharing, staying real about my journey. As a 44 years father still struggling to make a decent living from it, i'm working on it. But will no longer pretend it doesn't bother me sometimes.

Yesterday i received the 2024 submission letter from the ASC vision mentorship program, and i got in.

It might not be anything, but being the first from my country to be part of it, it carries another weight especially when sharing my journey back home and helping the coming generation.

You probably heard it before, but nurture your inervoice, struggle and pain are part of life, but as a step to reach peace and comfort.

Thank you to this community and thank you Jordan to bring value and sharing your journey with us so we can learn and grow.
