About Me

My photo
I pledge to go above and beyond for those students who want more than "just enough"; those who are more concerned with generating motivating reasons to succeed than with identifying disabling "good" excuses for failure; and those who sweat out that 90% perspiration in order to transform that 10% inspiration from a dream to a reality.
