Monty Roberts was one of a number of siblings in a family that was extremely poor and restless.
Their father, a farm worker, moved from one farm to another. The children changed schools a few times a year as the family kept moving. To make things worse, Monty was a below-average pupil.
At a new school, the English teacher asked the class to write in an essay about their life’s dream.
The essays were returned, Monty was shocked to see a large, red F on his essay.
When he asked the teacher why she gave him an F, she replied, “Monty, you come from a very poor family with no education and you are not very smart. This dream is impossible, go and rewrite the essay and I will give a new mark.”
Monty thought about it and after he had spoken to his dad, he made an amazing decision.
He gave in the exact same essay and said the following to his teacher, “Madam, you keep your F and I will keep my dream.”
Today that essay, neatly framed, hangs in Monty’s own 4000 sq foot house on his 200 hectares farm.
Mark 9:23, “Yes,” said Jesus, “if you yourself can! Everything is possible for the person who has faith.”
If you have a dream, don’t let anyone steal it from you.
