IT TAKES HARD WORK , FOCUS , DETERMINATION, AND WHEN MARRIED- TEAMWORK, TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE. CHAD AND SELENA HAVE TAUGHT ME MUCH BY THEIR EXAMPLE. CHAD, WANTING TO BE A POLICEMAN FOR YEARS EVEN THOUGH WE, HIS PARENTS, ENCOURAGED HIM TO TRY OTHER CAREERS FIRST. HE RESPECTFULLY GAVE FIREFIGHTERS SCHOOL A TRY...HE GOT A 4 YRS. DEGREE, (LOTS OF HARD WORK THERE), AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, AFTER WORKING SECURITY JOBS, DECIDED THAT POLICE WORK IS REALLY WHAT HE WAS INTERESTED IN. HIS SEARCH STARTED CLOSE TO HOME, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT....HE WORKED AT A CAR WASH, MOVED IN WITH PARENTS AND CONTINUED HIS QUEST. DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE...AND FINALLY LANDED HIS DREAM JOB. ANY ONE OF THE MANY STEPS ALONG THE WAY, MAY HAVE DETERRED SOME PEOPLE...BUT NOT CHAD.SELENA PERSEVERANCE TOO (2)!!! NOT ONLY DID SHE HAVE TO MOVE IN WITH IN LAWS WHILE CHAD PERSUED HIS DREAM JOB...SHE WORKED HARD, AND WAITED FOR HER TIME TO PURSUE SCHOOL TO BE A DENTAL HYGENIST. SHE WEATHERED HER YEAR LIVING WITH INLAWS WITH STYLE AND GRACE AND ENDEARED HERSELF TO US BEYOND WORDS. APPLYING FOR SCHOOL, AT LAST IT WAS HER TIME....THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT AS PLANNED,, ROADBLOCKS AND THEN HAVING TO DECIDE TO RE-APPLY OR PURSUE ANOTHER CAREER PATH....HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT? DETERMINATION, FOCUS AND TODAY SHE'S IN HER FINAL YEAR OF THE HYGENIST PROGRAM, AND EVEN HAS A JOB OFFER WAITING FOR HER. I'M SO PROUD OF BOTH OF THEM FOR THEIR PERSEVERANCE. THEY'RE LIVING THEIR OWN REWARD, BUT THEY HAVE MY UTMOST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION!
