I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding. I try to concentrate on slowing down my heartbeat, while my eyes try to adjust in the darkness. My dreams are filled with fears and insecurities about my future. Lately these dreams are becoming more frequent. Have I really wasted so much time?

I want to help someone beyond what I could do at a doctor’s office. If I could help couples and families who have difficulties in their personal relationships, if I could make a real difference in someone life then, I will be truly blessed. I want to be someone important to them. Someone they trust and respectable so they’ll see me as someone who truly
