I want to offer to young people that they can do anything they put their minds to do; happiness and success are very personal and individual.

When I was 11, we moved from the city in California to rural Idaho. So when I wanted to go to a friend’s, I would complain to my dad. He would say, “You'll figure it out.” So I either biked two miles each way or in winter I ran. This was not easy and at times, it did not seem safe, but later, I would do the same to get to school if I didn’t want to take the bus and its inconvenient schedule.
