I'm not going to limit myself by nominating times or anything like that. I never thought I'd do 14:34 and I did.

I'm conscientious and unless I have a very good reason to, I never miss a session.

No person, situation, or circumstance can define who you are. Don't give up. cave in, or stop believing that it's possible. It's not over until you win."
