🧠 The stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live.

Join us on Wednesday, July 22, as we welcome Dr. Troy Rand, founder of South Florida Fitness, business owner, coach, speaker, and PhD in Exercise Science.

In his presentation, "The Stories We Tell Ourselves: How Identity Shapes Success, Health, and Personal Growth," Dr. Rand explores how our beliefs influence our habits, decisions, and ultimately our success. Drawing from behavioral science, psychology, and his own journey of overcoming adversity, he'll share practical strategies to help you build resilience, redefine your mindset, and create lasting positive change.

Whether you're looking to grow personally, professionally, or simply gain a fresh perspective, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

At just 13 years old, Marcia Narcisse's life changed after a serious car accident.

While recovering, it wasn't only the medical care she remembered... it was the kindness of the nurses who gave her hope during one of the hardest times in her life.

"I remember thinking, 'I can see myself doing this. I can be the light for someone else.'" 💡

Today, Marcia is a senior at Florida Atlantic University pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse. As a first-generation college student, the support of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Scholarship Program has helped make that dream possible.

"Thank you for believing in me. I'm graduating soon and don't have to worry about debt because of your generosity."

We're incredibly proud to support students like Marcia, whose resilience, compassion, and determination will impact countless lives for years to come.

Congratulations, Marcia! We know your future patients will be lucky to have you. 💙
