Dreams do come true...but sometimes you have to work for them!

Tonight Jacki, my oldest daughter finished her Masters Program at Lindenwood College in St. Louis. I am so proud that I feel as if she graduated for both of us.
Jacki is, and always has been a hard worker, and very determined. And this accomplishment is another result of her tenacity.
I am so proud; did I say that already?!!
You see, Jacki paid for her MBA program, finished it in 18 months and graduated with high honors.

How many times in our lives have we quit something, sometimes even before we start, because it seems like it will be too hard? How many times have we let our dreams die - often wondering what would have happened if we had run the whole race; stuck it out?
This is a world where we buy something new if something breaks; we buy new clothes if something needs sewing or a button falls off.
We are not a fix-it country. Throw it away and get a new one - whatever it is.
Clothes, cars, appliances, relationships.
Relationships?
Yes, in this technological, microwave world, we want things taken care of, and taken care of NOW. If that can't be done, if it can't be fixed; then get a new one. NOW.
Consider the divorce rate in the United States. 60%. Throw it away and get a new one - until that one is not perfect any more.
We aren't teaching our children to try to fix things...so we throw out marriage with the torn jeans.
But there are still Gen Y'ers that take pride in hard work, and figuring a way to get ahead.
That is what Jacki did this last year and a half.
She worked full-time, helped her boyfriend move to Colorado when he was offered a new job, and managed to have a social life and get good grades.
Determination. Eyes focused on her dream. Hard work.
She did it.
Jacki Griffin, I am so Proud of you!
As I have always told her...I want to be Jacki when I grow up!
Dreams do come true; what is yours?
When you were growing up; did you want to be you?!
