04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Not being able to be there for my children and my family because sometimes I feel like I won't give up, but I know I'm not. Just dealing with the things that I deal with every day.

Living. Making sure my health is good, because if my health isn't good, my family isn't good. I won't be able to do the things that I do now.
