An employee that works at MSCEI (Mississippi Center of Education Innovation) sent me this photo the other day to post on their Facebook... It got me asking myself that same question: Who has helped you become the person you are today?

Getting out of college and trying to figure out who I am at the purpose I want to have in the world has been largely affected by those I surround myself with.

Having the courage to talk to new people, taking advice from people who have been where I am, like-minded friends and business people, having the confidence to keep trying new things to see what works and lastly not being afraid to do what I want to do.

Paving my own way- even if it hasn't been the most conventional, has allowed me to explore so many awesome opportunities.

"Don't waste your life looking at the past. Treasure the happy memories, enjoy today and look forward to tomorrow. Life is a journey, enjoy the trip."
