I work only with the homeless population and I wish I saw the last three words more often. Good job here

I know, it's a real struggle trying to build something out of nothing without any materials. I feel like I still haven't quite hit that last step, unless you count being salutatorian in high school/summa cum laude in college, or breaking athletic records- but none of those seem to count with employers, nor do my past job experience- still fighting though!

It's an interesting form. You might want to fix the last word as you've spelled success (as read: succeess) incorrectly.

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

The typo is fixed! [=

I could give my own six words - but they wouldn't necessarily be yours. The last three of yours strikes a powerful chord... but the first three "feel" wrong for you somehow...least to me.

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

Oh? How so, out of curiosity? Ahould I try synonyms of them?

[MAC]

an excellent attempt, only you know how well it fits but a very good group of words.

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]
