When I was a child my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk, you’ll be the pope.’ Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. —Pablo Picasso

My mother always encouraged me with every God given talents I was given. I took a wrong road which changed my life that caused hardship not only to me but the important loving people in my life. Now it's up to me to correct the road I travel.
