I have always enjoyed meeting people of all ages and hearing their personal life stories, career choices, and most important, their future dreams and ambitions. I've been fortunate to meet many interesting people over the past eight years who have completely opened my eyes to the numerous opportunities that really exist in the world. At each event or appearance I have made since the age of 14, I have had at least one person who has taught me something that I still remember to this day. Many times, it's not the most famous or interesting person in the room, it's just one of the people I have the opportunity to interact with, who teaches me something about life, and many times, something about myself. Hearing first-hand the obstacles some of the people (of all ages) have overcome to accomplish their dreams has really inspired me to do my best to achieve my dreams in the future.When the concept for this tour developed, I never thought it was going to be something that would teach me a lot about myself, and open my eyes even wider. But the first four stops on the tour have done exactly that. I recently had the opportunity to visit Atlanta, Ga. I spent time with the 4th and 5th graders at Cary Reynolds Elementary School, and I had the opportunity to make a special presentation at the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
