LETTER FROM PATRICIA

Yvonne,

First of all you are an amazing writer! I could feel your passion in your words.

PURPOSE spoke to me in so many ways. I feel so strongly about how everyone has greatness inside and that everyone can achieve success through hard work regardless of their challenges.

I have worked with kids with learning disabilities and have a daughter with a learning disability. What many people don't realize is that these people are geniuses in certain areas. All they have to do is find those area(s) they excel at and focus on them.

When my daughter was 5 years old, a school psychologist told us we, her parents, would have to support her our entire life. I said he was wrong! Then in high school we were told she'd never make it through college so she shouldn't try. I said they were wrong!

My daughter graduated college and was on the Deans List every quarter. She is doing very well now. She had a very tough life, other kids were very cruel to her, but it made her grow spiritually. Every obstacle in your life is not a bad thing. Obstacles are placed in our path by a Higher Power/God for lessons to make us grow and learn to be better people. What we choose to do with those lessons is up to us.

Warm Regards, 
Patricia Azeltine AKA PK Burian,
