What makes you proud? Is it your look? Is it your hair? The clothes that you wear? The car you drive?

Or, maybe it's something altogether different.

My pride is base.

It comes from my heritage.

Being born who I am, makes me proud.

Having been allowed to choose my own path and the things that I have been able to accomplish so far.

Early in life I was taught to do my absolute best.

I was taught to do my best even if I was messing up.

My absolute best....

So, my pride is anchored in self worth.

Should I awake and all of my worldly possessions no longer be available to me... Which my vanity prays doesn't happen, I believe that my pride would move me forward.

For you see, I am certain that I would still be Edwin Brown....

I am certain that I would continue to strive, as I have before.
