We had the good fortune of connecting with Samantha Luraschi and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Samantha, what’s your definition for success?
I define success as achieving your goals and making sure you feel fulfilled in everything you’ve done in life. Success is representing yourself with grace and poise, while leaving a positive impact on others. Success is also about growth and learning from your failures. It’s important to remember that success is not just about reaching a destination, but also about enjoying the journey along the way.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve overcome a lot and the journey hasn’t always been easy. I’m most excited about the work that i’m doing that involves kids. 52 volunteer hours later and i’m still going in attempt to make sure no child feels how I felt growing up.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I had a friend visiting the area I would make sure to take them to Mi Rinconcito a locally owned Mexican restaurant that has the friendliest service and the BEST menu. During our trip I would also make sure to take a pit stop at the Ouray Hot Springs following with a Dinner at another local restaurant ‘Bon Ton’ In Ridgway Colorado! The food is so delicious and the restaurant scene never gets old! I would also Take bear creek trail a hike Located in Central Ouray decorated by beautiful waterfalls that come crashing down in the summer !
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to start by giving a huge shoutout to every single person i’ve met along the way. All of you have helped my journey in a way that’s led me here ! I want to give a special thank you to my father Leroy, who’s done everything in his power to be both mom and dad to me while recovering from his own health issues. My sister Sterling for being the best role model and always showing me the most patience and grace. Both of my Aunts Molly and Melanie for being my best support systems while also being my best friends in the family. The Peer Kindness Org for all of the help and opportunities. All of you are amazing. They say is takes a village and I simply wouldn’t be here without mine!
