I know in my heart that Dragon, you are who you are partly because of your mother but I see the greatness in what you will contribute to our entire society all the days of your life! Your mother has given you an amazing legacy to carry on and you are doing so with great conviction. You will always be a quiet and humble leader of people. I hope whatever you become in life as an older person, you set your sights and goals high because I know the wisdom you possess at your age is nothing compared to what you can accomplish in your lifetime.
You go girl!
