"Discover The Gift is my way of sharing that I am completely 100% going for my dream. I am sharing that dream with my family, with my friends and with the extraordinary teachers that I have met, and will meet, on this journey. I'm on my own journey; I'm learning something every day. I am transforming in ways I never thought would be possible." says Demian.
