I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT

Yes, I watched Hamilton on Disney +. I would not call myself a “big risk taker.” I would also not consider myself an expert in the wizardy of spelling and grammar either…and that will become very evident in future postings. I tend to play things safe. I have a “traditional” college degree, and I have
