A little while ago, I worked in SouthEast Asia with a incredible group of young women teaching them English. I only spent 2 months with them, but the relationships that I built with these students impacted me more than any of my students that I taught in the 2 years that I was in Korea. Crazy, I know. -But these women were so thoughtful and strong. One, who was secretly my favorite - or perhaps I wasn't so good at keeping my favorites a secret, wrote an incredible paper about growth of a dream that I'll never forget.She wrote...That growing at first is difficult, everything about it is hard, even just coming out of your seed and pushing through the ground hurts, and as you grow other plants try to choke you, yet slowly as you keep growing your seed takes root and you begin to sprout and grow strong until you become a beautiful rose that others enjoy.Great right? So keep pursuing your big dream because in the end your fulfilled dream will be the beautiful rose which others can enjoy as they walk through life.
