I went home and thought about this question a lot. All I ever wanted when I was young was to get married and raise a family, maybe teach, if I ever found a way to get to college.

Not one of the things I "dreamed" about doing is in any way a part of my life. I'd like to think the things I am doing are more difficult, less the "easy road," therefore more fulfilling. I've certainly surprised myself by what I can accomplish. I'm a lot more pleased, and I think a lot happier, with the life I have than I would have been with the one I thought I wanted.

I hope I can call that success.
