Without a purpose and a plan, Telishia would not have been able to achieve any of the accomplishments above. What is your purpose in life? Telishia’ s purpose extends beyond any degree she has obtained. Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created. Your purpose in life has nothing to do with where you came from, your family name or your socioeconomic status. Don’t allow people or a system define your purpose in life. Life is a process, trust the process.
