Relationship Building. No Microwave Required.

Many of us in the world today are striving for something in life.  It may be that scholarship, a degree, job promotion, or seeking a different lifestyle.  Whatever it may be, everyday there is a necessary reason to go the extra mile for what we believe in...after all, what good is a goal if you don't have a dream attached to it right?
