I’m certain that every life experience, challenging crossroads, shed tears, and answered prayers prepared me for this moment in…

    I remember having studying to become a lawyer for as long as I was in school, but it never made me happy. Studying for every Legal Studies class only ever caused me frustration. I would always envy my peers for being able to enjoy their classes. The only class that ever brought joy to me was Geography; in that class, I was able to dream of becoming a pilot to fly all across the globe in a giant 747 jet; then reality hit me of how ludicrous it would be to pursue a career in aviation. “No, I am not happy; but I’m going to university next year, and it’s too late for me to alter my path,” I…
