Thank you. I truly hope I can pull this off. If I can get a person to a
point that they can do something they have been told all their lives they
would never be able to do, maybe, just maybe, I can plant that seed that
will some day grow into enough self confidence that they will try other
things and develop even MORE self confidence and around and around. That
would be SO rewarding to me, to know I had even a small part in helping
build someone's confidence or RE-building their confidence.
