“Everything I’ve ever done for achievement has been for my parents to
say ‘I’m proud of you,’” said Leah Dawson, gazing off in contemplation,
“it’s more fulfilling than a barrel.” For Leah, achieving is an easy
task. Positive vibes and motivation to succeed are Leah’s foundation
and deep-rooted love for life. Disappointment and fear are just crumbs,
easy to shake off, Leah’s existence is solely based on interactions of
love.
