Unscramble the Blue Letters


You know, for me, what kept me pushing on through the rceuse was the thought of those child soldiers. It became personal. I was able to go to Africa at one point. I met these incredible people. I have friends that have been living in this conficlt their entire life, and it was personal to me.

But that doesn't have to be what drives you. You know, you may want to be the next Shepard Fairey or the next JK Rowling or the next whoever. It doesn't matter, but whatever you want, chase after it with everything that you have — not because of the fame or the fortune, but sleoly because that's what you believe in, because that's what makes your haert sing. That's what your dcane is.
