-One thing that I've learned.

People only change for two reasons.

They've learned enough, and they want to.

Or they've been hurt long enough, and they have to.

How do I know?

I was given a second chance,

and I have changed.

Growing up, it was just me and my mom.

My mom was my world.

I grew up real fast on the West Side.

It was like, either you're going to be a wolf,

or you're going to be a sheep.

I wound up selling drugs,

and it just progressed until I became a heroin addict.

The revolving door of incarceration.

I got 12 years in 1995.

In the process of that, my mom,

she found out she had a lump in her breast.

When she did come see me,

I knew when she left from that penitentiary,

that I would never see her again.

In 2015 I paroled.

I was still trying to figure my way,

I got up one morning,

I keep hearing "1 2 3..."

-Back on my feet!

-I wound up joining Back on My Feet.

They helped me overcome Incarceration

and substance abuse through the power of running.

I never had no intentions of running.

All I wanted was to get out of those state boots, right,

because my feet was hurting.

I never thought that I'd be running a marathon

when I was a kid.

The only time I ran was when I was running from the police.

When I pushed through, when I crossed that finish line,

man the first thing I did,

dedicated the run to my mom

I still miss my mom to this day.

Here I am, 2018,

I'm running my second Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

Running gives me the power to do, or be,

anything that I put my mind to.

Hi, hope you're doing well.

My name is Daniela Lome, graduate in Communication

and a journalist of culture, tourism and entertainment.

I would love to be a happiness ambassador for Vidanta

because tourism in Mexico has admirable spaces to journey on...

its beautiful beaches,

mariachis joy,

its gastronomy,

and the splendid warmth that the Mexicans irradiate,

that's only a portion of the magical Mexico

that I seek to discover,

and share.

I have experience in:

content creation,

digital marketing,

social media management

and collaboration in the development of the tourism industry

through Public Relationships.

That's why I consider

I'm the ideal candidate to cover this journey;

and the reason I'm eager to collaborate in this adventure.
