My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the __36__ they gave me.

Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in, __43__ I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and __44__ goals. I was running on parallel __45__.

As I considered my __49__, my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I __50__ out. My bandmasters were __51__. They thought I was crazy to withdraw __52__ the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my __53__, with my feeling of what I was __54__ to do, with who I was —— it simply wasn’t me.

In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and __55__. I could remember who I was —— the hopes and dreams I carried.
