What do you attribute your success to?
I have been blessed with a strong faith in God and wonderful parents who provided me with a sound foundation, positive direction, and endless encouragement. I have been determined to do and be the best that I can be; and to live my life so that it reflects the positive inputs that were instilled in me as a child growing up. I have been faced with many challenges, but did not allow them to define my outcome. I believe, that success is never fully acheived, but one must continue to press upward toward that next level of acheivement. Through perseverence and prayer I have and willcontinue to overcome to reach that next highest goal.
