MEET APRIL CHILDERS
Like you, I'm incredibly proud of my service to our country and am thrilled to leverage the skills I've gained from my time in the military to craft a life filled with purpose and meaning.
Drawing from my own journey,
I never anticipated the hurdles that awaited me upon leaving the military. Over two decades, I honed skills that enabled me not only to endure but to excel in an environment that felt like a second nature. Yet, upon retirement, I found myself adrift, uncertain of my identity and direction. It's often said,
"I didn't know what I didn't know," and that sentiment couldn't have rung truer for me. I was at a loss on where to even begin in transitioning to civilian life.
As you embark on this new chapter, remember to embrace the journey, celebrate your successes, and never underestimate the power of a positive mindset in shaping your future. Here's to your continued success, fulfillment, a and happiness in civilian life. You've got this!
Warm Regards,
April Childers
