Thoughts:
 Being 25 years old and involved in all the things I am, I can’t help but think I can always do more. I think of myself as someone who lets things slide often. I’m a creature of habit, with not all the good habits. I know that I am capable, but I don’t choose to follow through. Saying all that, I recognize that those feelings must resonate with many folks. It’s just that I’m not many folks.

What holds me back? Belief. How do I combat that? Get around people who build me up; read books to facilitate proper thoughts.

What do I need to be cautious of? Being a big-shot at UAS. I’m good at what I do, and it’s a good fit, but it doesn’t capitalize on the skills and passions that I have for the futures of other people.

I want to be the active owner of a facility that allows for kids to reveal things about themselves that were previously unknown. Their fears of the temporal can be brought to the surface and overcome. I’ll be the guy that stops by once a week to invest in the group that needs it most: the roughest kids, the staunchly unresponsive, & the downright rude. Helping them to see the things that I can see inside of them.
