CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
No, we surely all can't become anything we want (to be), but this lady sure proved that with enough grit, determination, and unrelenting hard work, we sure can accomplish a lot.
Here's her story.
Edit: Hmmm, the above link leaves a lot out. When I read it seems she went from GED to law school. Anyway, try this link.
Like many others, she gave GOD credit. Though didn't seem ticked off at this same GOD for all the bad things that happened to her. OK, OK, I know, Old GOD was just testing her.
The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.
Fantastic post.... Great example for all of us to applaud.
