I wish someone had told me this when I was a teenager. I took a multimedia class in high school and really loved it, but no one told me it was possible to do design and make web sites for a living. I figured all you could do with that is make business cards and letterheads!

I spent some years in collage and other time "discovering" myself before I figured out that I could make a living designing web sites. I could've been working on that already instead of wasting time floating around trying to figure things out. So, it's kind of ironic that I ended up doing a 360.

But, I can't complain too much because I have the opportunity to do what I feel passionate about and that's what I feel grateful for. It's never too late to start. If you really want to do something bad enough, you'll make the energy and time for it.
