***A special thank you to Eminence Independent Schools, Thom Coffee and James Allen.*** Galileo Galilei, Hellen Keller, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr.,  Amelia Earhart, Mahatma Gandhi, Harriet Tubman... What do all of these people have in common? They all made an impact on our world today because of their bravery. 
A quick search on Google led me to these results...
When searching the word "brave"...279 billion results9.9 million videos10.9 million news articles1.8 million books2 million movies The word "Brave" is nothing new to this world... However, scientist are still trying to unravel the mystery of bravery within humans.  Are we born with it? Is it learned? Can it be increased?

Time is flying by... You have to make time for the things you love… We are racing against time... Time is precious...


The Frustration of Time
I struggle with time… I never have enough time. Trying to juggle family, friends, and profession is no new struggle to many of your out there.
