I never grew up thinking the goal in life was to be a millionaire. All the way through college, I had a part-time job. I worked hard to get the things that you need at that age.
Cecelia AhernI had a million plans. I knew what I was going to do. I had the next few years of my life all figured out. But what I didnโt know was that within a few hours all those plans would change. Ms. Know-it-all didnโt quite know it all so much then.

Just a little less jaded, a little less cynical.
