About
Hello. I am Mercedes Bolster, an individual with Asperger Syndrome, PTSD, major depressive and anxiety disorders, survivor of sexual assault, and an individual with the ability to conquer and overcome such challenges by building an incredible support group system, getting help, and educating myself on such things to help me succeed and build myself up rather than put myself down. Not only that, but I am compelled to help others overcome their own "obstacles" by using my personal experiences to motivate, uplift, encourage, and guide others to show them that they are capable of becoming anything they want and that opportunities like these do NOT discriminate against ones self for ANY reason. NOTHING and NO ONE, INCLUDING YOURSELF, can stop you from striving for, reaching and achieving your dreams/goals unless you let them. I CAN. YOU CAN. WE CAN.
