"My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success.
She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and
worked hard on and done the best that is in you. Success is being
praised by other's, and that's nice, too, but not as important or
satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success."
~Helen Hayes~
"It
is time to break through the barriers that have held you back and held
you down for such a long time. It is time to reach out and indelibly
etch your place in history."
~Greg Hickman~
"Winners
take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is
what makes the view from the top so exhilarating." ~Dennis Waitley~

Dream Big
One
of my biggest personal acievements has been climbing and summiting
Rainier (shown here, I am on the far right on the summit of Rainier) the hardest and tallest
mountain out of the lower continental 48, on June 30 2005.
Future Goals
I have realized that everything I have achieved in life has been
because of my determination that I have and knowing that no matter what
may happen, I will succeed.
My next goal in my life is to graduate with a degree in business from
Pacific Lutheran University, and to use this degree wherever life may
take me. Hopefully, I will be able to touch many people's lives
whom I come in contact with and be able to face any other challenges
life may have in store for me.

Lyrics to 'Dream Big'
By Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband
When you cry be sure to dry your eyes, cuz better days are sure to come
When you smile be sure to smile wide and don't let them know that they have won
When you walk, walk with pride don't show the hurt inside because the pain will soon be gone
Chorus
When you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
Cuz when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big
And when you laugh be sure to laugh outloud cuz it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the bueaty all around and in yourself and it will help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength to help you carry on when the troubles come your way
Chorus
Repeat 2nd verse
Chorus (2x)
