“I”ll do this as long as I go to practice and am excited about practice. Most people get excited about games, but I’ve got to be excited about practice, because that’s my classroom. And as long as I have that feeling in my head and my heart, then I’m going to do it. When I walk in there and I’m practicing, and I’m thinking, ‘I don’t want to be here,’ then I’m not going to cheat anybody. I’ll tell the university in a heartbeat that I’m done.

Looking for a job?  I was.  In fact, for over a year, I scoured the want ads and threw my resume out there in front of employers that scrutinized my background and skills.  I was asked demeaning questions such as, “have you ever been arrested for drugs?” or “would you be willing to work for 60 days on a trial basis without pay?”  I felt small and unimportant.  Then, I decided to go a different route and I found a business that I could do that would make me feel BIG and good.  I was nervous about working on commission, but when I thought about it, I realized that it would be a challenge and my true skills would be put to the test.
