I am the captain of my soul…
Sometimes, in the midst of adversity, your will or spirit is broken. And, sometimes, you just need something to hold onto while finding your lost beautiful soul that was within you all along.
Repeat after me…
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul

Circa 2016: I just delivered the Rutgers University School of Nursing Commencement Speech!
My daughter, Pauline was a junior nursing student. I was asked by the Dean of Nursing to speak at her 2017 graduation, but respectfully declined and offered to speak the year before her graduation instead.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I dropped my daughter off in Philly for her scheduled MCAT Exam for admission consideration to PhD/MD Programs.
