MY PERSPECTIVE AND CHARACTER: Life is a playground. It is simply an incredible experience and filled with unfathomable potential for each individual, especially in this great country. I am so dearly fortunate, blessed really. Coupled with this outlook of optimism and gratitude, I am of the belief that anything is possible to those who have the character, imagination, and talent to make it happen. Where some see obstacles, I see opportunity. In part because I feel so blessed, I must always be chasing a greater goal, a more elaborate dream. I am only satisfied briefly with an accomplishment before I begin again for something more. In my eyes, it is not what we have already done that makes us who we are; rather it is who we are striving to become. This is true of us physically, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, and spiritually. I value integrity, loyalty, humility, patience, strength, valor, dedication, ambition, kindness, compassion, empathy, generosity, tolerance, and sacrifice.
