Background

About Kaleb Feipel

Influence: During high school, I had the opportunity to collaborate with RemedyLIVE, a non-profit dedicated to helping individuals navigate their personal struggles and discover hope and self-worth. I shared my own story of overcoming challenges, detailing the journey I took to regain my footing. My story was transformed into a video that reached over students across various high schools. I’m proud to say that it inspired many to take their first steps toward addressing their own difficulties. This experience not only deepened my understanding of the importance of vulnerability but also reinforced my commitment to supporting others on their journeys. Passion: I have always been driven by a deep passion for helping others. I used to work as a lifeguard and swim instructor, a role that truly energized me. My days were filled with teaching swim lessons to children for three hours, lifeguarding for another three, and then dedicating an hour to cleaning before closing. What kept me motivated throughout the day was my commitment to the job and the joy of supporting kids in their swimming journey. I took great pride in helping them improve their technique and worked diligently to ensure the facility remained a safe and enjoyable environment for all to swim and play. Optimism: When I broke my leg playing soccer, my doctor explained to me that there would be parts of my body that would never be normal again, such as numbness in my foot and damage to my nerves. However, throughout the healing process I did my best to have a positive outlook on what I would eventually be able to do with my leg. Doing this helped me to push past all of the negative thoughts that were holding me back from recovering and, ultimately, having successes. Having a positive mindset is one of my greatest motivators, and it has helped me to accomplish so much.
