When I was 11, I made a friend who changed the trajectory of my life. She inspired me to go to college and try harder.

- I was an average student without the ambition to go to college or pursue a high-flying career.
- But my friend Gerry knew exactly how much she wanted to succeed in life before she was 11.
- Her go-getting personality profoundly affected me and motivated me to up my game.
I rarely see my four besties from middle and high school.
