Benjamin Miranda Power Statements The power of a three-minute conversation. Never take for granted sharing your story. English was my barrier. Dinner conversations with my dad verse my dinner conversation with my children. The resiliency a military child has is tremendous. I have found purpose even after wearing a uniform for almost twenty-five years. I have a new "why". When you get off the bus make sure your family is with you. A part of the transition process is finding your new "why".  Transition impacts your quality of life; transition impacts your health; transition impact your economic standing. I need to invest myself into the new community. The basic principles of leadership - management, caring for your people, coaching, motivating, mentoring, human connection - that does not change. 12135 Pebble Hills is the address for the Endeavors Veterans Wellness Center coming to El Paso.
