Don’t Lose Your Inspiration

When I was little, I wanted to be a director of a nursing home. Now if you know me, you probably are thinking Cali in healthcare? No way. Reality hit me as I was telling a friend this story on the way home from an FFA activity. Everyone has someone who serves as a mentor, an inspiration, or a […]
