The Big Picture
|
In what ways have your values changed since you graduated from college? |
|
Out of college, I was focused on someone else's perspective of what success was. Mostly from professors who had never achieved their personal fulfillment and from social influences that proclaimed the satisfaction of the almighty dollar.
Life is about learning and growing. I have been fortunate enough to learn from scholars and dropouts, millionaires and beggars. A lesson is where you find it. Learn from life and grow from all the fertilizer life gives you. Today, I am more human, less perfect
and happier with who and what I am.

How do the values you presently hold relate to your work? |

'God doesn't make junk' —Rev. Desmond Tutu
You can believe in what you want, but when it boils down to the finished broth, we all find that we can truly be anything or anyone we want to be. I believe in the spirit of humans and our ability to overcome.
Through my work, I get the opportunity to breathe a little hope back into peoples lives. Through this wisp of a promise to help people attain what they want, they do the work, they make the commitment and they realize the dream. As long as there is HOPE.
