Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.

Even when I lecture per se, I am a joke comedian, I can do the voices.

I buy thousands of books a year.

Everyone picked on me in school because I was in foster care.

It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in their past, they can overcome the dark side and press on the a brighter world.

Even in its darkest passages, the heart is unconquerable. It is important that the body survives, but it is more meaningful that the human spirit prevails.

I'm so alive. As I stand facing the beauty of the never-ending Pacific Ocean, a late afternoon breeze blows down from the hills behind. As always, it is a beautiful day. The sun is making its final descent. The magic is about to begin. The skies are ready to burn with brilliance, as it turns from a soft blue to a bright orange. Looking towards the West, I stare in awe at the hypnotic power of the waves. A giant curl begins to take form, then breaks with a thundering clap as it crashes on the shore.
