Follow Your Dreams

Follow your dreams, those words have resonated in our ears for years. But we, for the most part, were a generation of following our dreams meant make as much money as you can in your lifetime. Putting aside our passions, and as the years went by wondering what was missing, and then circling back to our dreams later in years.

I see Tony and David's class on the cusp of graduating and going on to college, or other adventures, and they are a generation of following their dreams. I am amazed about how each one of them know their path. But David in his quiet way was the pinnacle of following dreams. He wanted to go overseas for college and as a young seventeen year old he took the leap of faith and applied to Oxford, Durham University and St. Andrews in the United Kingdom. His dream has been fulfilled being accepted to Durham University and is in the running for Oxford. The St. Andrews decision will be not far behind.

Oh the refreshing times of our children who not want for monetary rewards, but rather seek their desires and reach for them every day. This generation is destined to make a difference.
