To Lead or Not to Lead: Breaking the Glass Ceiling Using Lessons from Past Experiences (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781951214890)

"Sometimes it takes challenges to help one discover how strong they can be. This recess situation, for me, was the challenge that I needed. Facing those who had certain expectations of me, and then admitting to my failure pushed and uplifted me; this was whether certain people supported me and encouraged me or insulted me and tried to kick me more while I was already feeling down. It led me to believe in second chances and timing...Once I got my second chance and was presented with more tests and challenges...I had found a strength within myself to keep moving forward and prove to myself, more than anyone else, that I could do what I set my mind to do; you can do the same."
