THIS SUMS UP MY BELIEFS ! I do not choose to be a common woman. It is my right to be uncommon... if I can I seek opportunity ... not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.I will not trade freedom for for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.I will never cower before any master nor bend to any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done. all this is what it means to be an American.
