Sometimes we forget that the top of the wave, the top of the crest is always the bottom, there is no inside without an outside, and there is no up without a down.

One of the lowest points in my life was when I was diagnosed and combated with severe ulcerative colitis which is severe ulcers in you colon that bleed.

Some things aren't to my taste and I wish they wouldn't have happened but they have been some of the best experiences to learn and grow from so I am grateful for every moment.

You don't become a hero by choosing to become a hero. You become a hero by becoming an example, by being an example for what's possible, for being an example for one person.

I don't have individuals that are heroes per say but I will suggest that teachers are heroes for me, our firefighters are heroes for me, our police departments are heroes for me and our leaders are heroes for me.

Be purposeful. Be patient, and be active!
