In life, I've learned never to depend on anyone if not yourself!  The world is filled with beautifully, talented individuals. Each unique in his/her own way.  Yet, I've come to recognize that not all the world sees these individuals, unless they come attached to a famous name or a suggestion of friend of a friend. In all areas, do we find this to be true... whether it's in the music, movie, publishing, television, radio, financial industries, or yes, even  education.  However, never stop aiming for your goal. Envision your dream and walk toward, no––run toward it, grab at it, dream it, then LIVE IT! Yes, we'll have to overcome some hurdles, big or small, but we'll overcome!
