You have a zest for life, take directorial notes in stride, and maintain a spirit of grit, determination, and passion.  

“The finish line is where I like to pull up and start from 

Experience is just a place that I go to get the answers from 

Worry is a boost that I use to get the job done 

Fear is a space I like to think that I’m far from 

My computer is the one thing I hate to be apart from 

Bet against me, don’t know where they get their odds from  

I know that when the task done, I’m moving on to the next one  

And through it all, I still don’t know where I get the calm from”
