The casualties of an explosive dream.

It is because of Mr. Boyd that I am the ambitious young woman that I am today. He made me realize that in life, those who constantly make excuses for themselves and settle for mediocrity do not go far. Therefore, I do neither. I always push myself regardless if no one else does. It it because of Mr. Boyd that I value hard work and put effort into everything that I do.

There are so many lessons that I have learned from this man, that if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to list them all. If I get the chance to see him again, I would tell him that I am grateful for him. Every lesson he taught, I have never forgotten, and I truly feel sorry for those that have. If he chooses to do nothing else in his life, I would want him to continue to touch and inspire young lives the way he has done mine.
