Getting through high school. I'm part Native American, and was one of only a few minorities in a school of 1200. I put up with a lot of harassment, low expectations, and prejudice from both students and teachers, and almost caved in by dropping out once I turned 16. But my dad told me to stick it out, take my SATs and ACTs, and by keeping my eyes on the proverbial prize, graduated in the top 20% of my class, and with a few sizable scholarships to a much more accepting and top-notch college waaayy out of state! I owe a lot of what I am today to holding on when things were really dour.

after 35 years of using street drugs and drinking alcohol, I am now clean and sober for 8 years now. I also work as a counsellor for many of the people I used to use with. And this I am very proud of.

Having the cover of an art magazine with an article of/about one of my pieces. Never forget the feeling when I saw the magazine for the first time with my piece and name on it.....it was incredible.
