Be Inspired

In 2009 I hit some bumpy roads. I really did not know what I wanted to do with my future. I came across a few YouTube videos that truly inspired me. After watching these videos, I realized I wanted to get into graduate school and open up new opportunities for myself. These videos may be a bit lengthy, but it's worth the watch. What's the worst it can do to watch them? Be INSPIRED. Enjoy!
