About the Author

Appendices

Dedication

This book is a true blessing and realization that I dedicate to my family & friends.

To the young, the unaware, those seeking a path,

and the many who long for achievement

To the rich, the poor, the undecided, the misled, and the satisfied

Look at yourself and find the true you

Plan ahead and create a limitless future

Use all that the present has provided you and seek scholarship

Buy a hat today to avoid a beaming sun tomorrow.
