​What ESA Means to Me

Picture
Laura Williamson
(Laura passed away in 2012 from surgery complications.)
All my life I was told I would never amount to anything, I never did anything right and I would never be able to take care of myself.  I suffered from low self-esteem growing up, never believing in myself and feeling no matter how hard I tried I would never be good at anything.

But through ESA, I have developed good people skills, learned to have faith in myself and to never give up on myself.  I enjoy being a part of an organization that allows me to help others in need and to grow at my own pace, yet nudge me when doubts try to creep in.  I never thought I would be able to face large crowds without fears or mistakes, to just be myself, and to be accepted just as I am.  I look forward to the opportunities to continue to grow in ESA through the beliefs of ESA, to live by the rituals, and to help others learn and grown.     Laura Williamson   e
