Micro Acts of Kindness

JF Tiger

As a result of complications during my birth, I lacked oxygen to my brain, resulting in the neurological condition known as Cerebral Palsy (or "CP" for short). Growing up, many aspects of my life did not resemble those of other children. I learned to walk at the age of five, had a classroom aide for taking notes throughout my education, and, to this day, have difficulty with fine-motor tasks such as tying shoes, attaching buttons, or drinking from a glass – trust me, that can get messy! With the support of my family and many healthcare professionals, I persevered, developing a tenacity (some might call it stubbornness) that has allowed me to complete two university degrees, have a thriving career in technology, and be a committed father to two children. Besides my degrees in Science, I have completed NLP and hypnosis, meditation, and Reiki trainings, allowing me to access deeper parts of my mind to reach my goals, no matter how ambitious they seem.
