WHEN I WAS HIRED BY THE EDITOR OF A LARGE NEWSPAPER AS A COLUMNIST, HE ASSIGNED ME TO WRITE FEATURE NEWS COLUMNS ON ANY TOPIC OF MY CHOOSING. AT THE TIME MY FAMILY WAS STRUGGLING THROUGH EXTREME ADVERSITY SO I CHOSE TO WRITE ABOUT PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM PAINFUL EXPERIENCES, HOPE, AND OVERCOMING HUMAN OBSTACLES. I ALSO INCLUDED STORIES ABOUT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELPED OTHERS. I HAVE INSERTED SOME OF THE HUNDREDS OF COLUMNS THAT WERE PUBLISHED SO THAT YOU CAN GET TO KNOW ME A LITTLE BETTER.
