Jordan Toma is A Motivational Speaker, Financial Advisor and a real estate investor But it hasn\'t always been this easy My life has been a roller-coaster with this Learning Disability and I let it control my confidence and outlook on life for the first 18 years.
Now it\'s time to make up for lost time..
My objective is to create the foundations of the belief, the confidence, the work ethic and everything that you need to become the best you can be now and not let anything ever get in your way.
This journey has Just started for me but now I believe it\'s time to help young students that can relate to my story.
It has brought me to where I am today.
After that I started building a foundation of confidence and belief in myself brick by brick.
I knew I couldn\'t let this label last forever.
I went into the bathroom looked at myself in the mirror and promised myself I was going to change.
I remember moving in filled with fear and anxiety.
I was accepted into a life changing program called The Step Ahead.
I let this problem control me until I graduated in 2008.
Other students, even so called friends called me dumb.
I remember sitting in class telling myself I am going to try really hard to understand everything in class today Just like everyone else and be a normal student, but I Just couldn\'t grasp it! I was made fun of because sometimes I had to have special lessons.
I struggled to understand why I couldn\'t Just pick up information like everyone else.
I would feel helpless in class.
This happened to me because of my experience in school and it grew roots into everything I did.
You can\'t do this.
But mine said You\'re not as smart as everyone else.
You know when you are attending a conference and they give you a name tag to pin to your shirt? As far as I was concerned I had a permanent name tag.
I will give you an idea of what I mean.
I let it define me - it became a permanent label stuck to my shirt every day.
