Thier Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest David Snape. On air from February 14th

My name is David Snape, 26 years old and I have autism. I want to help other people through via my radio show or helping others getting their content on my blog to gain more followers and support. Not only that but to inspire others by saying that you can inspire to do great things in your life, autism maybe is a part of you but if you get over that important hurdle, the possibilities are endless. I’m currently in the process of writing my own autism story, using my own experiences.

How would I sum myself up as simply as I can? I am just an ordinary 26-year-old man, who loves his gaming, sport, work, friends and family, who wants to try his best every day and doesn’t want to let people down.

I have autism but I feel like everyone else in this world, I don’t talk much bout my condition although it is something that will stay with my throughout my lives.

There are areas which I was more successful at like maths, IT and I do remember stuff but in terms of English or other subjects do tend to struggle, henceforth why I got a learning difficulty.

Throughout my early life as a kid, I struggled to find out who I was, I tend to be aggressive without knowing I actually do that and only eat bread and marmite, even at Christmas.

Education started off a struggle but education was always going to be a slow progress, speech on some areas like ch, for example, wasn’t very good at all.

Finding friends was hard and nobody seems to want to go near me. I felt all along, especially if I was invited to a kids party.

It was only till I went to a special school called the Priory school that I felt very comfortable and was starting to see who I really was. I will always thank the school for what they did to me.

College was an opportunity to find my own path and become more independent and achieve a grade in A Level Maths was a fantastic achievement as well as a C in GCSE English.

I have worked in a factory, a production operative, in food, in online sales and now as a post worker, a job with a long future in prospect.

Over the time, I feel more confident in my social life, through the help of work, family, and Facebook. Even doing interviews for my radio show is a lot of fun and that has helped me throughout.

I will give up hope, though. Most questions when I was younger asked to me was, are you gay? Are you a virgin? Well now I can say with a big smile on my face, I am not gay or a virgin, so there.

One of the reasons for doing these blogs is because there are certain things that are better said writing down and it makes you feel better to get them off your chest. Now it’s a showcase where people show off their writing talents to the world.

Overs are just for fun and to try and inspire other people. I will keep posting blogs about different things and hopefully make some people notice.

TSM 17-03 “Sex Trade” Modern Day Slavery with Denise Antoon

Human Trafficking is Modern Day Slavery. There are more slaves today than any time in history. Human Trafficking is defined as the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labour or commercial sex act.

The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally.
- 68% of them are trapped in forced labour.
- 26% of them are children.
- 55% are women and girls.
The International Labor Organization estimates that forced labour and human trafficking is a $150 billion industry worldwide.
Companies lose an estimated $12 Billion a year because employees are using company time and resources for pornography and prostitution.

Our mission is to educate and eradicate human trafficking in business. The travel industry and businesses are just now starting to take a stand against the fastest growing crime.

People are not aware how prevalent it is or that it is happening in plain site. This is not just an “over there” problem. This is a crime happening in your own backyard. It happens in hotels, restaurants, farms, factories and even major sporting events. The Super Bowl is the single largest incident of human trafficking each year. Ignoring the problem is makes society more complacent in it.

16-48 Christmas gift buying and the real gift of Christmas

November 24, 2016December 9, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara Troy on Sara’s View of Life show, on air from November 29th

maybe_christmas_doesn__t_come_from_a_store_by_angie2d-d4k4noh

Am I getting old, or are manners becoming a lost art? Simple words like “please” and “thank you” seem to be fading from everyday life, and courtesy is rarely taught or practiced. Yet when someone takes a moment to say thank you, it reminds us that what we did mattered, that we are seen and appreciated.

Do you remember Carole King’s song: “You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart…”? A genuine smile can shift the energy in a room. A little courtesy, a heartfelt “please” or “thank you” can brighten someone’s day — including your own.

And now we’re plunging into the big, bustling Christmas season — when everyone (and yes, even their dogs) is out shopping. The crowds are loud, the shelves look picked over, and frustration rises fast. You’re normally patient… but the line feels endless, the clerk is overwhelmed, and that perfect gift seems to have vanished.

Breathe. Be patient. The season is meant to be joyful.
Courtesy can be contagious — let’s make sure we’re spreading the right kind.

When one person snaps, it ripples outward. But kindness ripples too. Here are some tips to help you keep your cool and your cheer this holiday season:

1?? Plan ahead — Don’t leave everything to the last minute. Spread your shopping over a few outings so you can look without pressure.
2?? Do your research — Flyers, catalogues, and online browsing can give you gift ideas before you go out.
3?? Ask for a list — Especially helpful with teens and tricky relatives. Choose something special from what they suggest.
4?? Shop smart — Avoid weekends if you can. Evenings during dinner hours are often quieter. Take break moments for a warm drink and a recharge.
5?? Give meaningfully — Consider donating in someone’s name or creating gift baskets for those in need. Include your children — it teaches giving from the heart.
6?? Gift cards count — Teens love post-Christmas sales. Add a small personal gift to show thoughtfulness.
7?? Gifts for spouses — Don’t buy household items as the gift. Choose something personal and treasured — jewellery, experiences, favourite music, cozy luxuries.
8?? Show love both ways — Practical gifts are great, but sprinkle in something playful, romantic, or fun.
9?? In-laws — When unsure, keep it classy and universal: good wine, a festive treat, an ornament, a family photo gift, or a lovely outing. Respect personal beliefs in your choices.
? Make it personal — Homemade or heartfelt gifts — writing, baking, painting, music — can mean more than anything purchased.

BUY LOCAL AND SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY

When someone says, “You shouldn’t have!”
Reply: “Of course I should — you’re worth it.”

And if you receive something you don’t love?
Say: “Thank you for thinking of me — I feel very special.”

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just the gift…
It’s the gratitude, the grace, and the love behind it that people remember.

appreciated

Thats Christmas is to me

Courtesy is one of our greatest human assets. It costs nothing, yet it carries tremendous value and is always appreciated. When someone takes the time to do something thoughtful for you this season, pause and truly acknowledge the effort — the energy, the intention, and the care behind it. Be grateful that you are the one they chose to give to.

If you can’t reciprocate with material gifts, offer your time, your attention, your kindness. Time is precious — and giving it is often the most meaningful gift of all.

Gratitude is the best response.

C16-48b. 365 Days of Gratitude with a Positive Attitude.

November 14, 2016December 3, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Child author Muskan Virk, on air from November 29th.

Our children the leaders of our tomorrows have already begun to show us the way, we interview Muskan a child herself on why she wrote this book on Gratitude and what it has meant to her and what has become for us.

Muskan came into this world as a miracle after her parents’ 16 years of marriage. At the young age of six, Muskan learned about the injustice that Malala Yousafzai had gone through, and was devastated. She was propelled to take action and 14962540_10155446195034115_8396619359566836975_n

14962540_10155446195034115_8396619359566836975_n

wanted to make a difference. She started by raising funds to donate to the Malala Fund and other local charities as well as journaling her thoughts of gratitude. From those beautiful daily gratitudes, 365 Days of Gratitude was born. Muskan now only 10 years old is inspired by knowing that her words will make a difference in people’s lives and would like to make a difference globally with her charity called Helping Hands, whose mission is to help homelessness in every country. Partial proceeds of this very book will be donated to Helping Hands as a continued effort in ensuring you are also a part of making a difference. Muskan lives with her parents and her dog Butterball.

TSM16/40 Get Into the Schools of Your Dreams

September 20, 2016July 29, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Elizabeth Dankoski, aired from October 4th on.

Get Into the Schools of Your Dreams

Forget about perfection, find out what you love and create a unique project so you get into the school—and LIFE—of your dreams

Students face huge hurdles when it comes to getting into the college of their dreams. Top universities accept a small fraction of students who apply each year. As a result, many highly qualified students have turned away, and those who are accepted often face uncertain job prospects upon graduation, despite the astronomical costs of obtaining a college degree.

Elizabeth Dankoski created The Dream School Project to help young people stand out and overcome the high-stress stakes of college admissions so they can increase their chances of acceptance at their top choice schools — and to empower them to build the life of their dreams. Her program is based on her 15 years of experience as an “educational catalyst” helping hundreds of students get into their top-choice schools.

aaeaaqaaaaaaaae-aaaajdk2yje0ztcxltk4mjktndrini1hmzy5lwzkm2e0n2vln2q4nq

Elizabeth discovered the reason some were accepted to the school were put on waiting lists and ended up settling for institutions that were not their first choice. The students who did get into their school of choice were those who had created unique projects, often reaching out to solve a problem or improve life in their communities. Elizabeth’s students include:

* A student working to go the Olympics as a referee for fencing

* A girl planning a 5K run to benefit epilepsy research in honour of her sister who is battling the disorder.

* An eighth-grader who loves hockey and conducting research, petitioning his town and raising money to build an ice-skating rink

* A boy whose family immigrated from India who is creating a website to raise awareness and funding for an orphanage there

* A student who wants to be a K-Pop star challenging herself to take her singing and dancing to the next level

“When our kids show what they care about most when they use their passion when they follow the path that lights them up — colleges will come running,” she says. “That’s what leadership really is: lighting other people up and illuminating the world with your unique gifts.”
