Along with documenting all business decisions I make and steps I take along the way, I feel it's also important to provide some history of how I arrived at this point in my life. I'm a product of 9 years of Catholic schooling, that's kindergarten through 8th grade. I'll admit I was never one for school and my grades reflected that but for the most part I was a good student in terms of respect for my teachers and following the rules which if you know anything about me, rules and I don't mix but I still did follow them otherwise dad would hear about it and that's one thing I did not want to happen. I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement and believe in its ability to empower children or anyone for that matter. Tell someone they can do anything they put their heart and mind to and watch them flourish. Tell someone they're a nobody long enough and they'll eventually begin to believe it. Unfortunately I was told the latter but fortunately enough I refused to believe it. Maybe I was never good enough in their eyes. I was a C student and proud of it, still am. So this road I am on will also serve to prove all those who didn't believe in me, thought I was a punk and would never be successful wrong.
