"Keep the F and i will keep my dream"
In our traditions Story telling is one of the most important activity that took place, main goal was to pass over the traditions and belief of the community, counsel young men and ladies and prepare them for whats ahead of them, it was mostly shared by elders unlike nowadays where young-stars can share with anyone who inclines their ear to listen no wonder there's too much mis-interpreted stories and theories circulating in our society today,
This Evening Pukky came home late after a tough day at work. " I will tell you a story of my friend, Monty." he said after supper.
As he was a kid, his father as a horse trainer was moving from stable to stable, from ranch to ranch, training horses. Thus the boy's school career was constantly interrupted.
One day, when he was a senior the teacher asked him to write about what he wanted to be when he grew up.
He didn't hesitate a minute and wrote seven-page paper about his aim to be an owner of a horse ranch.
he wrote many details and went ahead to draw a location of buildings and stables and even a detailed house plan.
Two days later he received his paper back with letter "F" on the front page. After class he came to the teacher and asked "Why did i receive an F?"
The teacher responded. "This dreams is so unrealistic for a boy like you, who has no money, no resources and who comes from itinerant family. There is no possibility that you will reach your great goals one day"
Then the teacher offered to rewrite the paper with more realistic attitude.
The boy went home and asked his Father, how should he act. The father answered "This decision is very important for you. so you have to make your own mind on this"
After several days the days the boy brought the same paper to his teacher. no changes were made.
He said. "Keep the F and i will keep my dream".
house in the middle of 200 acre horse ranch and he still has that school paper, which now is framed over the fireplace. Remember you have to follow your heart and never let anyone to steal your dreams.
Remember giving up is never an option!!
Every person with a vision and a mission will encounter discouragements but remember not to turn your ears to discourages, look at someone like Nehemiah, he was discouraged by the tobia, against building the wall of Jerusalem, don't give up. you can make it,
