I am Aaron

Hi! My name is Aaron M Ricks. I am both ADD and ADHD and I don’t have a problem with them. I have overcome them on my own without any help. I have a strong persistence at what I do and I love what I do. If I don’t love doing something I don’t do it. What I am going to do with my life is be a motivational speaker so I can change people’s life’s and inspire people for the better. There is no value to changing someone life.

I am a reformed adrenaline junky. I have shattered my leg riding on a pink razor scooter. That changed my life and have had many trials from that to overcome, learning to walk several times, mersa, and even dying. I still have my crazy moments. I snowmobile, ride a motor cycle, four wheeler, and go to trampoline gyms. Nothing will keep me down.

I have served a LDS mission in Tucson, AZ there I was able to teach many people and bring them closer to Christ. There I met many people from all walks of life. I made many friends, and found further inspiration to help others. While in Arizona I had an idea to become a youth councilor for program EFY also known as Especially For Youth. I never went to EFY as a kid, but I knew that is where I needed to be. When I went to interview I thought I had no chance to make it, being a group interview. But against all odds I made it. So now I work with the youth to bring them closer to Christ and help them to stay strong in a world with shifting values.
