Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   22   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   23   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   24   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   25   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   26   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   27   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   29   for a young boy like you.   30   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31   dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it   32  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   33   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   34  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

So don’t let   35   take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.
