We discussed achieving your dream. Think of someone who has already achieved a similar dream. What lessons can you learn from their journey?

 My uncle-in-law, Greg McCoy. Some things I can learn are risk-taking, learning from his mistakes, networking, and unwavering commitment to his goals. I can learn how he studies for the test, the experience, and the different things you can do in the military. Today in class we read a Poem by Langston Hughes.

The view, with the vastness of the landscape stretching endlessly, was overwhelming in its beauty. It was the kind of peace where I could almost feel the weight of all my worries lift.
