Nick Vujicic was my childhood hero. I was inspired by his story of how he found fulfillment and positivity despite being born without arms or legs.
In 2005, Nick founded Life Without Limbs, a nonprofit organization and ministry. Then in 2007, he founded Attitude Is Altitude, which offers a curriculum aimed at motivating and empowering students.
He became a highly respected speaker and author focusing on how to overcome life’s challenges through strength and faith. While Nick is recognized by many from TV and YouTube, he’s better known by conservative Christians as an evangelist.
Nick eventually became one of my closest friends and then my employer. I worked as his assistant for nearly two years as he mentored me, but things took a somber.
