Melissa West, President & Owner of Positive Kid's Positive Futures Learning Academy I & II As a young girl I was always determined to live my dreams and enjoy life. After high school I decided to further my education and go to college to pursue my degree in Business Administration with a concentrated effort in Operational Management: Management Information Systems. After I received my degree, I then started seeking out a better, more "feel good life," for my daughter and myself. This led me to seeking out positive things like emerging myself into motivational speeches, seminars, self-growth books, and more positive people. That shift gave me the mental resources which helped me live a more positive life. After learning that being positive affects every aspect of your life including getting ahead in life, I began to ask myself a question, "How can I try and change the world in a way that benefits society?" The answer became clearer once the question shifted to, "What if I can help children at an early age learn how to have a richer life, through positive teachings and becoming better leaders?" That question ignited a pivotal change in my life. So, I decided to resign from my job at the time as a manager and start a home daycare and daycare center. I named them Positive Kids Positive Futures Learning Academy Inc. I & II, "Where How Your Child Starts Out Matters!" I Initialy started the academy in my home to test it and ultimately developed a love for it so added the center on as well. Over time, I saw children in my care truly grow from the positive teachings and great curriculum my staff and I instilled in them. This then motivated me to take it a step further and to move forward in becoming an Author by writing my first children's book, "Aniya & The Power of A Positive Kid!" I hope you all enjoy!... See less
