sierra -- {welcome sierra}
sierra -- BECAUSE I CALL IT A CHALLENGE RATHER THAN A CRISIS; BECAUSE I LOOK AT HARDSHIP AS OPPORTUNITY INSTEAD OBSTACLE; BECAUSE AT THE END OF A MATTER,I ASK, "WHAT WILL I LEARN FROM THIS TO MAKE ME BETTER?"; BECAUSE I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND DO THE DIFFICULT THING FIRST; BECAUSE MY COURAGE DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE WEATHER, THE ECONOMIC FORECAST OR THE WINDS OF WHIM; BECAUSE I KNOW THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS IN MY DAY ARE LAUGHTER, LEARNING AND APPLYING MY FINEST EFFORTS TO EACH ENDEAVORS; BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS EACH MORNING IS A PLEASURE AND EVERY DAY PASSED IS A SUCCESS-----
