<p>Jake - you never cease to amaze me. I’ll say it again “Adversity doesn’t bulid character, it reveals it”. You gave a very worthwhile goal your best shot and have proven your resiliency, being able to ‘recover readily from misfortune and resume original shape and position after being bent stretched, or compressed’. Combine that with your proven creativity and resourcefulness and life will be good to you. You know what you want - now go for it!</p>
