When I was a young lad I was often shot down on my ideas...even family would discourage me from my dreams or desires...I am sure their intentions were founded but I believe it made me very hesitant and self conscious of my abilities or worth. Being the youngest and smallest boy I always tried hardest to show that I could do as well as anyone...Time has passed and I still to this day take a very long time to get the nerve to do anything. When I do it still sometimes does take a long while to work to my goals but I have learned that the cost of doing so is easily absorbed by the end result. I pride myself in creativity and though I may not measure up to peoples standards I still try. My way is quite often very different than how everyone else approaches an adventure. What we do in life has to have a solid meaning to us to make doing anything have a true value. Please do not discourage any dreams of a young person, it makes it so hard to overcome the wall of self worth....trust me I know. To those who watch me on my adventures and cheer me on I thank you, to those who think my idea is foolish or not worth what it will cost me, well I appreciate your concern but have become used to discouragement and it has made me stubborn and determined. Allow me to make my mistakes and the youth of today as well....proof is in the future. Wait and see and if I fail at least I will have had the courage to try
