I can't leave it like this.......

"It is never too late to become what you might have been." 

Great quote huh ?!?!?  Yeah, not so much.  It is never to late to become what you might have been.  I have a problem with that word, might.  Oh, I agree that is is never to late.  But, did you have to use the word might ?  To me it gives you a whole lot more doubt to pile in your melon.

"I might have been a Pediatrician, but didn't, at the time want another 12 years of school."
"I might have been Paralegal, but 4 hours of night school 5 nights a week, working FT as a Pre-School teacher, was brutal."
"I might have had a different outlook on relationships, had my parents not divorced when I was a child."

You are what you make yourself to be.  You and only you made your choice.  You were given the opportunity.  It was placed as a thought in your head.   A dream that you could nurture.  A dream that you let die.

But now I have been given another dream.   Another opportunity.  I have been given a desire.  A desire, to see this dream to fruition.   An opportunity that will fulfill my dream.  I'm going to be, what my dream shows me.   I am not going to fail.  Myself or my family.  I want to share this dream with my family and friends.  I want to help them see their dreams.  Help them achieve their dreams.  I know I can do this.  I've seen it being accomplished.   I am capable.  I have the ability.  I have the gift of gab.

I'm going to do it.  I'm going to show everyone.
