Behold the First American Family




It really doesn't matter whether you grew up in the back woods or in the house by the beach. It doesn't matter if you grew up playing with a diamond spoon or a toy spoon. It doesn't matter if your parents were never married or they grew apart as divorce stepped in. It doesn't matter whether you are classified as a midget or a giant. Neither does it matter that men call you brunette, blond or black.

Think about John Brown who dared to question the supreme law on behalf of blacks. Think about Wole Soyinka who stepped forward to win the Nobel Laureate. Think about Magic Johnson who has defied AIDS and continued to live positively. Think about Oprah who chose to reach for the stars when others sought comfort in stars that beautified the pages of their books.

What matters is that you believe in yourself and you dare to soar as the wind beneath you propel you to excel.

Believe!
