HI've been working at my current job for 3yrs now. I've come to hate waking up in the morning, to go to it. I've also learned not to dwell on the negative and find the positive. My positive is to working among 200 of the toughest critics, this keeps me on my toes. I work at Harriet Gibbons High School. HGHS is Albany's alternative High School.

The students here have very little to look forward too, maybe pregnancy, incarceration or death. They take style and fashion very personal. It is a way of life for these kids. The code of the streets! G-ear! They are very active consumers and quite savvy.

This has allowed me to bounce my ideas off of them and learn how to take rejection. It has helped me to critique my ventures and redevelop them at the same time. I work amongst a powerful market, that if tapped into will provide constant revenues. WOW That is great.

9-5 doesn't really fit into my lifestyle. My life is a constant brainstorrm of new and innovative ideas for my ventures. If you are a true entrepreneur than work never ends for you. Every minute that I am awake it has a place in my mind. Even when I sleep I dream of success. Not the success of money and fame, but as a personal challenge to climb the mauntain.

Keep dreaming!
