Through the Southwestern Advantage program, I have learned to never take the easy way out and to always push myself. Although I found each year to be very challenging, it’s also the most rewarding – both financially and spiritually. I have learned when things get tough to never ever give up on myself even though I really, really want to at times. I’ve learned to believe in the power of a positive attitude. I’m was so blessed to have been constantly surrounded by amazing, hard-working, dedicated, self-motivated and competitive young people who challenged me to be my best every single day.
