MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING FROM THE HEART
You don't have to let your past make you, you can break the chain. - Melinda Blunk
Melinda Blunk is all too familiar with adversity and overcoming one's obstacles. Born as a crack baby to a mother who tried to abort her, Melinda was told she would never be able to walk. Through a miracle and her stubbornness, she can run and play sports. She was adopted, struggled with suicidal thoughts, was homeless, kidnapped, physically, sexually and verbally abused throughout differents parts of her life. Melinda came out a better and stronger person. And that's just a drop in the bucket. She was kept here for a reason. She is a perfect example for people about bettering their lives no matter what the circumstances. She is attending school in Missouri and then has high aspirations of getting a Master's at Columbia Journalism School in NY. Melinda brings a strong inspirational program. She teaches that no matter what life gives you, you can be an overcomer. She's also an outlet for anybody going through something to reach out to.
