Being able to think for yourself and to be able to break away from relying on others in order to perform duties or tasks is a truly liberating and exciting self realization. To be able to obtain greater understanding and knowledge by doing things alone without external guidance is a great lesson to learn and apply in life’s everydays activities. I’m sitting here today wondering where I’ll be in 12 months. Undoubtably it’ll be far from where I sit today with the wealth of knowledge yet to be bestowed upon me. May the journey begin. I am ready to learn with an open mind from my mentor Mark Hamiliton and many others as well along the way.
