Don’t Let Anyone Steal Your Dream When Monty was just 16 years old, his teacher asked the class to write about their dreams. Monty took the assignment seriously. He dreamed of owning a 200-acre ranch, so he wrote it all down seven pages long. He even drew a big house and a full plan for the land. He saw it clearly in his heart. But when he handed it in, the teacher gave him a failing grade. After class, she told him, “This dream is too big for a boy like you. You come from a poor background. You should write something more realistic.” 💔 That could have crushed him. Monty went home and asked his father what to do. His father said, “Son, I can’t decide this for you. You choose what matters most.” After thinking about it, Monty walked back into school and handed the same essay back to the teacher. He said, “You can keep your F — I’m keeping my dream.” 🙏 Years passed… Monty built that 200-acre ranch. That house. That life. One day, the same teacher visited with a group of students and told him: “I was a dream stealer back then… but you believed. I’m proud of you.”
