My journey in life is like a labyrinth.  I started in one career, yet in pursuing my passions, I was led to other professions.  You never know where your path will lead you, so just continue to believe in yourself and do not let anyone discourage or stop you.  Up to this point, I have had a fulfilling and enriching journey, and it is not over yet.  "Follow your passion, and success will follow you." -- Arthur Buddhold
