12 May Hi, I’m Arianne.
I’m a 25 years old full time post secondary student, entrepreneur, health/marketing enthusiast, and passionate about leadership. Some would say I am a type A but I would like to think I am in between A and B… I have one younger sister who is my best friend and a handful of wonderful friends. I had a lot of good and kind people around me.
I’d like to give back they way they have for me. I don’t like talking about myself too often hence why I’m starting this blog. I’d like to share my stories about my development and life overall in hopes it will inspire other people when they’ve lost hope or need a bit of a boost. That if I can live a life pursuing all my dreams to be my reality. Then so can you! This is also a channel for me to learn to open up a tad bit more…lord and improve my writing skills. I grew up with a single mother who provided me all the tools to be the best I can given my circumstances. I was that child who went to Brainchild, swimming, piano, ballet and Chinese lessons. In my earlier high school years, I was on student council and was accepted into their Leadership program. However, not all homes are perfect and neither was I. My super busy schedule lacked a social life and I was the outcast who wondered why she didn’t get invited to parties. I eventually started to rebel which led to the falling out with my mother. I bounced around from my friends home for a bit and I eventually moved in with my boyfriends (at the time) family who took me in. (Yes I’m that girl lol) I sort have been a gypsy since. I was thankful. They didn’t charge me rent and always overfed me. Since then, I hussled working two jobs for the last decade. I didn’t have that many friends in high school but the ones I did were an army of men who always had my back. I would not be where I am today without the support of them and my at the time boyfriends family. Their generosity has played a huge part in my character today. Although…I don’t miss the yelling at me in Vietnamese.
Fast forward
My life this year has been being significantly involved in extracurricular activities at my university, attempting to pass all my classes, and running group fitness classes at 6am. My business partner and I started our company when I was 23 years old while I was a full time second year student at Capilano University. We met while we were working together at Steve Nash. I was leading the operations team and he was a senior personal trainer. We had an idea of providing something better to the industry and we did it! It was not easy but we can save that for another time. I thrive on personal development as I personally feel that if you are your best and living a happy life, you will attract good energy and the right people will enter your life. Today. I am in Montreal, Quebec with a pursuit of self discovery and furthering my academic goals. I will be heading to Riviere Du-Loup, a city outside of Quebec City on a student bursary on Sunday and will begin my travel blog series then.
Until next time.
