Recently, I have helped my fiancé start his small business, and he is now starting to get good business. I am excited for the many opportunities this affords us and am hopeful for our future plans. I've never actually taken a business class or went to school for business, but I have been able to get a sense firsthand and just how much it requires to start a small business. It has been a valuable and educational process for me. I am also happy that Rick has found his ideal job situation, running his own small business. I am currently going back to school because my interest is becoming a therapist. I originally went to school and received my Bachelor's in English and my Master's in Teaching. Now, I am going back to school for Psychology, which I think is one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I'm so passionate about mental health and helping others, and Rick is passionate about the cleaning business. Little by little we are finding our way, and I'm excited for the opportunities and good times ahead of us!

Often, this would lead me to forget important things like taking a break to eat dinner, sleeping, or even doing my homework or other important tasks that needed my attention. Hyperfocus in persons with ADHD happen...
