Ms. Barbara Hillary is a wonderful and refreshing reminder that one has to absolutely believe in one’s self. My grandmother told me to “keep on, keep on” and she is doing that. “When I accomplish” Ms. Hillary said, which tells one she totally understands endurance. She is a winner; she is courageous; she is inspiring! Keep on, keep on Ms. Hillary.
