Journaling:
When I was 22, I was a single mom supporting two small children. I always thought that someday, I would go to college, but life seemed so overwhelming and someday seemed very far away. I didn’t feel I could cope. Then one day I was reading a magazine and read the quote attributed to Goethe that you see here.

"What you think you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

It was the “Begin it” that struck me. That day I picked up the phone and signed up for college and never looked back. I knew I could do anything, but without the motivation to begin, I would never have discovered my “why.”
