“Be prepared”. “How many times have I heard this?”. More times than I can count. I have been blessed to be surrounded by leaders and parents that have taught me this very important motto. Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout was my first task. Patience and hard work was the backbone of this endeavor, and now that this chapter of my life has come to a close, I’d be elated to open another with the same virtues at my side. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance will be required to complete this course, but it will also take a positive and progressive mindset.
