The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family was too poor to have a house to live a result , when he was in high school, all the students were asked to write a paper about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. That night he wrote a sevenpage paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch. He also drew a picture to show a 4,000squarefoot house that would sit on a beautiful farm.

Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.” The boy went home and thought about it for a long and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “ Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I still keep my dream”. He tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000squarefoot house in the middle of the 200acre horse ranch. “I still have that school paper now.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.
