Chapter 7. Live your own life on your terms - Veronica Sosa
VERONICA SOSA is a Serial Entrepreneur, Author and International Speaker
My name is Verónica Sosa, I was born in Venezuela on the 23rd December 1973. This date would not matter much if it wasn’t for the fact that coming into this world on the day before Christmas would have its consequences. Firstly, it meant that all of my friends would be on vacation and nobody would be available to celebrate my birthday with me. Secondly, while all children receive two presents, one on their birthday and the other on Christmas, I would only receive one. This led me to the belief that I would have to fight twice as hard for everything in life.
I had a comfortable childhood, my father was a doctor and my mother was a lawyer. We had a lot of nannies but they never lasted long. We were four children, one boy and three girls, me being the oldest meant that I had the responsibility of setting the example for the others.
Our nannies all had different beliefs and we were spoilt by all of them but we couldn't really complain about any of them
I was 14 when my parents got divorced and although it was a difficult time being a teenager, in a private school, playing volleyball and hanging out with my friends was a great distraction from what was happening at home. I also loved dancing and participated, as one of the lead characters, in all the shows that the school organized.
As a student I was good, until I reached 9th grade. There I realized that I would like to try and do different things. I grew tired of the monotony really quickly and I started feeling like the weirdo in the house, like the Spanish say “the green dog of the house”.
After school prom, my father wanted me to follow in his footsteps and become a doctor. But I couldn´t, it was not my passion. To keep my father happy I studied Orthodontics and although I passed the first year with distinctions I felt out of place. I love to talk, have fun, laugh and share things with people, so this career was just not for me.
When I turned 18 my parents gave me a car but being the weirdo that I am, I asked them to rather sell it
