Jeanne describes her own goals: "I have dreams that are idealistic. While in practical terms, this makes them ultimately unattainable, the striving toward them yields magical moments which make the journey worthwhile." Advice to Students:Whatever a person's dream, you are going to encounter difficulties and frustrations along the way. It is easy to get distracted or to mistake instant gratification for fulfillment. However, if the dream is truly your dream, imagination, dedication and consistency will see you through. Participate in your life.
