In high-school, most mornings I woke up around 5:30a to be at school by 6. I had meetings and organizations I was leading that I was in charge of being present to help lead and represent, then I went about my school day until 2:30p. Then, after school, I would have band practice and/or play rehearsal until about 9p that evening, only to go home that night to do homework, go to bed, wake up, and do it all the next day. Boy, let me tell you, trying to throw a job in that mix was a task I certainly failed at.
Little did I know, this was only a warm-up for the marathon I’d be racing in college.
