JUNIOR YEAR – Find Your PASSION

 If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.
~ T. Alan Armstrong

During your Junior year, your focus may now become more centered on what your ultimate calling will be. Having completed two years and with only two more to go, you now need to start looking beyond your day to day experience and start looking at what the future will hold.
