When I first got out of high school in 2005 I was offered the opportunity to go rebuild roofs in New Orleans. I had everything lined up, and then at the last moment. I got cold feet. My little sister (who was 12 at the time) told me she didn’t want her big brother to go, and so I didn’t.

That chance would have funded a vehicle for me and gotten me in school. I opted to not take risk, and I regret it. Instead I started at a book store, and while I enjoyed that greatly it closed doors on opportunities which in hindsight, would have been much more valuable.

This time I have no intention of letting my insecurities get in the way of me finding out first hand what I can do. It took me four years, but I’m learning that risks must be taken in order to grow properly.
