"How YOU prepare in the present will predict how YOU perform in the future"
“As I reflect on the what Martin Luther King, Jr. means to our nation today, I think the one thing that stands out to me the most is DREAM. Each one of us has a dream, whether that is to travel the world, to buy a fancy car, to graduate, to find a significant other, or to overcome an obstacle. Dreams are often what keep us going every day even when we may think that they are out of reach. As you are getting to be more mature young adults, what are your dreams, your aspirations? Write them down on a piece of paper and put them in your room on a wall or on your door and read them every day. The more you see, the more you will believe!”
