About Veronica Diaz
“Winging It and Winning. It’s a Mindset,” is an expression I live by. It has helped me achieve many goals that I may not have accomplished if I did not take the plunge or fall into self-doubt. According to statistics, I should have ended up being a high school dropout, teenage mom, in an abusive relationship, and suffer from drug abuse. Thankfully I did not experience those things, and I attribute my life success to my mindset.
At a young age, I believed that I was in control of my destiny, living every day to create a life that I always dreamed of. I applied to college despite my low GPA and poor grades. I had to do a summer bridge program as a contingency, but I did it and was accepted. I applied for the Masters in Social Work (MSW) program despite my fear of not finishing because I felt like I was not smart enough. I got in and with hard work, sacrifice, and consistency, graduated with my MSW.
When I make mistakes, I do not accept them as losses. I see them as achievements because mistakes teach me what does not work, which is just as important as knowing what does work. Life is hard, it has challenges but here I am, winging it, and I’m winning. Thankfully I beat the odds; I want to encourage other people that they can too.
