Many people have sequential life goals for themselves; career‚ marriage‚ children‚ early retirement. These landmarks reflect their idea of a suitable life. The only problem is if somehow those factors pop up out of order‚ they no longer feel like they are on a promising course to a happy life. Personally‚ I view

Passion is a wierd thing; it’s not something you have control over. For some it may be drawing‚ for others it maybe studying‚ but for me‚ it comes down to three things: sports‚ computers‚ and music.

As a child‚ I decided to pursue an aspiration that began with a child’s doctors kit. I wanted to have a career as a doctor.

Loyalty in Question I was born in Charleston‚ SC and spent my childhood years in Washington‚ DC raised by my aunt and uncle.
