One Remarkable Remark: “Please never let a job title, a degree, or a person be the factor that stands in between you and pursuing your dream. Those things will always be there. But your time and opportunities are not so secure. You never know what is waiting for you on the other side. Be a risk-taker and do it with confidence.” — Shenaya Wilson
