I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.
I stared at the television in shock, watching as my private life was revealed to the world.
I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.
I was always an overachiever.

Although I'd first seen Senator Hart in Aspen, Colorado, at a New Year's Day party in 1987, we hadn't talked.
In my case, I learned that although God loves us, he doesn't grant us immunity from the consequences of our choices.
