Personal Philosophy:
Education is the one thing we often take for granted in our formative years. It is the opportunity for us to be exposed to the world outside where we live, the opportunity to research, read, explore everything around us, and discover what it is in this huge world we want to specialize in. Take advantage of the opportunities to find what you love. Doors open, doors close, but we are always put in the place where we are meant to be when we are meant to be there. Look for the signs, they are staring you in the face.
