Who are you?
Lori Cherkowski
Where are you from?
Prince Albert, Sask.
Why did you want to participate?
I
am a huge supporter of youth empowerment. A lot of kids that I know
have bad self-esteem issues and they drop out of school as they are
missing people on their side. Young kids need to know that people
believe in them for them to believe in themselves. I am also a big
supporter of local businesses and trying to help support locals.
What is a defining moment that challenged you and made you a stronger person?
My
maiden name is Fiddler and coming from Prince Albert that last name is
not the best to have. Having that last name gives people a bad sense of
you and they tend not to believe in you to well in life. My last name
has defined how I have always thought about myself.
How are you able to overcome adversity and what did it teach you about yourself?
My
grandfather and mother pushed me to move past my last name in high
school, go to university and to have a successful life
for myself. Having them on my side showed me that if I had confidence in
myself I could achieve more than I could have ever thought possible.
What would you tell a younger version of yourself today?
You
are smart enough, you are good enough and you can get up when the world
knocks you down - you just have to believe in yourself.
