Being the oldest student in her class has only reinforced Christie’s commitment that goals can be accomplished at any age. “I want to teach others that beauty is within and that age cannot dictate what any person can or cannot do,” says Christie. “I want everyone to realize that as women, we are strong and powerful regardless of age.”
My motivation is my daughter. There is nothing I want more in life than to show her that you can work hard to accomplish your goals at any age. I strive to make my daughter proud by showing her that women are capable of anything if they are fearless, hardworking, and believe in themselves. I also plan to make a difference in other women’s lives. I am a middle-aged adult. In fact, I am the oldest student in my class. However, that will never stop me from pursuing my dreams and feeling beautiful in my own skin. I want to teach others that beauty is within and that age will not dictate what anyone can or cannot do. I want everyone to realize that as women, we are are strong and powerful regardless of age. The sky truly is the limit. *We are FEARLESS*We are AGELESS*We are LIMITLESS*
