In life, sometimes, there are friends or acquaintances you are destined to meet. Some change your life for the better and maybe one or two of them change your life for the worse. It seems there is a synchronicity in life where the people around you are destined to be there to influence, educate and enrich your life in some way.

It is another Tuesday morning in this demanding world we live in. I wake up to the annoying beep of an alarm clock, push the snooze button as fast as I can to turn it off and pull the blankets completely over my head, knowing that I have four morning classes, work and editing to do for the newspaper until 6 p.m. I mean, let's be realistic. How many people actually turn off their alarms and jump right out of bed? There are probably few on the list.
