This was edited after the fact, but you can get the idea.    I much preferred writing about sports, but this was a class assignment.

Good style, good job

Great article David!!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

 :D :D :DDear David: Congratulations on your certification! And welcome to the staff side of academe! It doesn't pay well, but the rewards are many and enduring. Your essay was first-rate, well narrated and articulate--rare prose among today's undergraduates. Professor Melon
