I have many stories to share about a difficult beginning to my life. I'm certainly not unique. I've met many people who talk about the alligators in their milk bottles. The silver lining is that we made it. Surviving challenges we weren't prepared for. There seemed to be just enough compassion and empathy to get us through. We didn't die. We might have defects but, there are cures, if we want them.

The whole idea is to raise children to not need us. Refusing to cripple them by making them dependent adults. I know people who overcame poverty, racism, violence, and abuse to gain nobility. Hell bent on a better life. Independent people are confident, self-assured, and determined. They don't look for an unfair advantage. They figure out how to beat every system designed to hold them back. Independence is the main credential needed to flourish at whatever you choose.
