Venetia Palmer

I am nominating Venetia who is truly inspirational. She is a determined individual who has overcome many obstacles in life and encourages others to do so too. Venetia was a 'street girl' with a very bad attitude having grown up in a violent and disturbed household she was aggressive, suicidal and on a downward spiral. She changed her direction and now helps others - young and old to come through life's difficulties and propel herself forward. Venetia is optimistic, patient, non-judgmental, humble, caring, giving, forward thinking and mature beyond her years when advising people. Venetia is an outstanding youth group leader, is studying to achieve professional qualifications, working, running a football club for under privileged 12 - 16 years old and is setting up a business as a sports coach. This young lady has totally transformed her life and has become a beautiful, effective and promising member of society.
