I was very fortunate to be raised by committed and involved parents in a wealthy community, that meant great schools and plenty of resources. Health, gender, and race have and continue to contribute to my climb up the socioeconomic latter. I know that my success is built on that privileged foundation and many others have not had such an easy road to follow. I make it it a point to not forget that and be grateful for my existence.
