This is the home page of Melissa French, formerly Melissa Trusty. It's so nice to make a page that I can do whatever I want with, it doesn't have to be professional, I can just make it as pretty as I want. I redid this site as of May 2001, after a couple years of being too busy with NetCastles.

This life is a test - it is only a test.
Had it been an actual life you would have received further instructions on what the hell to do.

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard-
And sure must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea-
Yet, never in extremity-
It asked a crumb of me.
-Emily Dickinson
Consider This:
Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress by her family.
Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher called him hopeless as a composer.
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Walt Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.
Thomas Edison's teachers said he was too stupid to learn anything.
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." He was expelled and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School.
Louis Pasteur was only a mediocre pupil in undergraduate studies and ranked 15th out of 22 in chemistry.
The sculptor Rodin's father said, "I have an idiot for a son." Described as the worst pupil in the school, Rodin failed three times to secure admittance to the school of art. His uncle called him uneducable.
Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He did not become Prime Minister of England until he was 62, and then only after a lifetime of defeats and setbacks. His greatest contributions came when he was a "senior citizen."
Richard Hooker worked for seven years on his humorous war novel, M*A*S*H, only to have it rejected by 21 publishers before Morrow decided to publish it. It became a runaway bestseller, spawning a blockbusting movie and a highly successful television series.
