It’s a core mission of mine to do my part to help change that so that all children can realize their dreams if they work for it. No locked gates!
Ladies, don’t waste a moment of your precious time trying to get a man’s attention. If he’s interested he will love heaven and earth to get YOUR attention. Save your energy for joy and work and learning and doing whatever floats your boat! Let him be the one to twist himself in knots.
