Hi Everybody:  I do not qualify for this competition living in Canada so I can start round 2 tomorrow. I have been soul searching and digging down deep, and I'm ready to go after my dreams again!  I found something out in Round # 1 that I never saw coming-sometimes those closest to you will try to sabbotage your efforts.  It's a devastating realization but it happens for a reason-to test us to see how badly we want to acheive our goals and dreams!!  For me it's very important!!!  I'll never stop until I succeed!!!  Persistence  is the best gift God ever gave me!!! Plus this dream in my heart!    On to Round 2!!
