The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family is too 1 to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 2 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a sevenpage paper describing his goal of someday 3 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 4 and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000squarefoot house that would sit on a 200acre dream ranch. 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. Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, Why did I receive an F? His teacher said, This is a（an） 5 dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There39。s no way you could ever do it. Then the teacher added, If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your 6 . The boy went home and thought about it for a 7 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, Look, son, you have to 8 your own mind on this. Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 9 at all. He told his teacher, You could keep the F and I will 10 keep my dream. Monty tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000squarefoot house in the middle of his 200acre horse ranch. He said kids39。 dreams can be stolen. Don39。t let anyone steal your dreams.
