He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.
Two days later, he received his paper back, on the front page was a large red F with a note that read " see me after class" the boy with dream went to see the teacher after class and asked "why did I receive an F?", the teacher said "this is an unrealistic dream for young boy like you "you have no money you have no resources from your family, there is no way you could ever do it ,then the teacher added "if you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconside your grade"
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. he asked his father what he should do, his farther said , ’’ look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this, however, I think it is very important decision for you "
