I know why you are there. You are following your dream and unfortunately northern New Jersey is where you have to do it at.
I know you want it bad enough so you will stuck it up and do what needs to be done. Just look at me! I went to heck in SA and still wanting to do this teaching thing. I just needed to find my niche, you are working on yours, don't give up!

Stay warm, Leslie!
