What a beautiful story! I’m sure many young people, new to adulthood and the workforce, can relate to your feelings, experiences and insecurities. Thank you, Maria, for sharing your journey. Your honesty and compassion in finding your way, gives hope to those who walk in similar shoes. Although you may have never thanked Doris for all that she did for you, by paying it forward, you have become the mother figure and role model to so many. Like Doris, you lead by example, with kindness and love. She would be proud of the woman you have become!
