How I did it: Began researching through my university. I think that through a program or school is the best way if you are still in school. There are so many things you don't think about that because they've been hosting students for years they know every problem that could possibly arise and foresee it and stamp it out early, or let you know how to fix these things when they do come up. I went to London, England and lived and worked at an internship h… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was a long process.

When you run that often, you stop wanting to eat awful things because you know you will think about them later when you are pushing up that hill in the end of your afternoon run.

The old lady I clean for wants a 2nd violinist for her quartet! So now, she is copying me music all the time, and soon, soon, I will find the time to start practicing it!
