“No one is sure about what will happen in the future. Nothing
happens by itself. All of us need to work hard to make positive
things happen. That is the path I have chosen and I am striving
to be the very best I can be . . . My family and friends are very
supportive and help me through the tough times. I can count on
them. Another area that I can count on is my education because
it allows me to work successfully . . . I want to help others. If I
can keep my mind and eyes open, there are always opportunities
to help others. I want to thank Optimists for making this
opportunity possible.”
