INSPIRATION:

by Sheryl Meck

My name is Sheryl Meck, and I am 19 years old and the oldest of three children. I come from a middle class family in Pennsylvania.

I was first introduced to Never Let You Down {NLYD} when I saw a friend wearing the NLYD wristband that had the company promise on it. I asked him about it and checked out more information on the company and it’s products. I bought a wristband for myself and use it to always remind me to stay positive everyday.

I was originally born in the Philippines.  I have twelve aunts and uncles and over thirty cousins.  My family in the Philippines is very poor.  They live in wooden huts and have to fish for their food.  Yearly, I have family members that pass away due to simple colds and sicknesses because they can not afford any medication, let alone enough food.  This lifestyle did not suit my mother, who worked many hours everyday to help feed her family, but to also one day be able to come to America.  My mom would do anything and everything from selling Bar-B-Q at a stand to pulling weeds for someone.  Her dedication and hard work paid off after years of saving and she was able to bring me to the United States of America so that I may have a better life than she did in the Philippines.

Everyday when I wake up and I see my Never Let You Down wristband, I think of my mom and how she never stopped working hard.  She never let me down.  Because of my mom’s actions, I now live in a free country with endless opportunities.  Thanks to Never Let You Down, I will always wear the wristband as an everyday reminder of where I came from and use the band as a motivational tool to remind me of where I can go as long as I always follow my dreams, just like my mother.
