Enlightenment through such peers as Mr. West and his current life endeavors has awakened the inner man within myself. Being of “book smarts” , common sense, and “street smarts” yet lacking real world experience; I was set out blindly by ambition to achieve more. Unknowingly of what it was I wanted to acquire so badly except the basic of all desires. A home of my own to call my own, a family (God willing), and financial stability. A worry free life of happiness. Only after many short comings did I realize what I needed.
