Character is destiny | Synthia Goode| Ep. 3

I first met Synthia in 2006. At that time, she was the girlfriend of my second oldest son Justin, and she had just finished her work as a flight attendant. Synthia was returning to work as a dental assistant.When we first met I was struck at how intense Synthia was. She was a very focused young lady and was working very hard to move forward in her career. It was also clear that she was very much in love with my son Justin. they would marry several years later.Twenty-five hundred years ago the Greek philosopher Hericlitus said that “ character is destiny.”  I think that is an excellent way to understand Synthia. Her character is shaping her destiny and that is no more true than when you look at her decision to become a school teacher.Remarkable! Stories & More . . . is a reader-supported publication.
