At 15 years old, I was naive, boisterous, and ignorant. I’d love to sugar-coat my naiveté, but unfortunately, I was clueless. Not only was I a witless blockhead concerning the world in which I lived, I was convinced I knew what lie ahead. Keep in mind, I’ve come quite a long way from those days […]
