I have it. It's what I need. It's what WE all need. It's the first step to acknowledging you can progress.

About 3 weeks ago, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Stage 4.
Bad things happen in life, whether you feel like it is controllable or not. The bottom line is... it's all in the attitude; how you face it, how you man up to the situation that will carry you through to the light at the end of the tunnel.
We are thankful for all our friends and family who have been there for my mom and my family. Family and friends, one combined unit very crucial and fundamental in maintaining this attitude–hope.

I actually read the letter from the president of LMU

Here's an excerpt I find inspirational and one that makes me proud to know I was subconsciously molded around this mission.

"It will embody Jesuit intellectual principles and LMU's mission, which rest on the premise that the best education–the one that sustains you for a lifetime–combines academic, social and spiritual pursuits... provide students with critical thinking skills and a shared lens with which to view, understand and interpret the world in its spiritual, ethical and scholarly essence... will reinforce the values that make an LMU education stand apart from the many colleges and universities with which we compete."

– David Burcham, LMU President (2011)
