My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves. I tried to go back to college right after my son was born, but I had no idea what I wanted to do for my future and taking care of Kaleb wasn't cheap. I was constantly working to pay for the expenses of Kaleb, while paying for the rest of the expenses I had.

Callums’s monologue ‘Which one means more-being someone or making a difference?’-Lynny’s words; I never thought that this one, small question could have possibly been something to do with my poor Lynny’s death.

Going back to college has been a challenge for me.
Returning Back to School I graduated back in 1984. While I was in high school, I had never thought about college because I was lead to believe that for me to go to college I had to have scholarships.

After 9 long years I have finally decided that it is time for me to do something with my life.
