Academic Areas & Scholarly Interests

Personal Philosophy
“There are no mistakes or failures, only lessons.” Dennis Waitley
Alex :No, I mean, you do what you are. You're born with a gift. If not that, then you get good at something along the way. And what you're good at, you don't take for granted. You don't betray it.
Jeezie : What if you do, betray your gift?
Alex : Then you betray yourself. That's a sad thing.
—James Patterson: "Along Came A Spider." film
