How many people ever DO have the courage to follow their dreams? Very few, I think. Too many people, too many factors working against it. Eventually all those people telling you how immature and unrealistic you are get to you. Following one's dreams takes a special kind of strength and courage. I argued with a lot of people about it but eventually gave up on my dreams I am sorry to report. Now I am 77 years old and it's pretty much too late to fight for my dreams though I still hope to pursue some of my dreams at least to some extent. The only thing I can say in my favor is that I had a long career as a school teacher and did whatever I could to help my students fight for their dreams. I was a teacher for many years in a juvenile detention facility where I taught kid criminals. Some of my former students have done quite well I am happy to say. I am now a retired old lady living out here in the California desert. Please write to me and tell me more about yourself, your life (current and past) and your interests.
