One of my most cherished assumptions is that all goals are reachable if you work hard to achieve them. I believe with dedication and faith, any person can accomplish what they set out to do in life and become a winner. <Tab/>Throughout history there were many people we considered winners, who, in fact, lost many times in their lives. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he had "no good …showed first 75 words of 800 total…

…showed last 75 words of 800 total…again in my life. And that is why I succeed." When I leave to go out into the real world, to work as a teacher, I am going to face many challenges and changes. I have a choice each day about how I am going to approach life: either avoid difficult situations and give up, or face life with a positive attitude and see myself as a winner because I gave it my best shot.
