Life has had it’s challenges for most of us. Instead of a direct path from point A (where you started) to point B (where you want to be), the path contained many crossroads that included points of decision that put you on many windy roads, which may have hit you with a curve least expected. As children, the question many of you might have heard—what do you want to be when you grow up?
