School Teachers and Parents!!! How Dare You?????? How dare you???? How dare you discourage this children from dreaming let alone dreaming big... Are you that sad and miserable?? Has life totally fucked you that you do not only think that good things can't happen to you but it cannot also happen to the people around you... I recently heard a story of Steve Harvey from his childhood... He said that when he was 9, one morning his teacher came into the classroom and told everyone to take out a sheet of paper and write what they wanted to be when they grow up all the kids including Steve Harvey did that and submitted it to the teacher... The teacher called out everyones future ambition and saved Steve's for last,when she got to Steve she called him out to the class and asked him to tell the class what he had wrote and Steve said(with a bright smile on his face) "I wanna be on TV" the freaking teacher then yelled at him and asked him if he personally knows anyone that's on TV ,Steve shook his head. The teacher then took the piece of Paper Steve had written this ambition on and pinned it to his chest and told him to wear it throughout school time and take it home, told him not to take it off because she would call his mom right away to tell her all that's happened... Now here's the part that totally fucked me up! When lil Steve got home his mom was yelling at him and asked why he would write something like that she then ordered him to his room that she would tell his dad when he gets home and he would whoop Steve. When the dad got home, Steve's mom told him "Steve had something pasted on his chest by the teacher, call him so he'd tell you what it was" his dad furiously called him and asked him what happened, Steve said "The teacher asked us to write down what we wanted to be in future and I said I wrote that I wanna be on TV"
Steve's dad looked at his wife and said "Well what's wrong with that?"
She screamed "he ain't supposed to write that, he's supposed to write a lawyer or doctor or something"
Steve's father then ordered Steve to his room and told him to wait for him... Moments later he went to Steve and said "What did your teacher expect you to write?"
Steve said "A lawyer or police officer or something"
"Okay bring out another paper and write it down for that dream killing hefer... Then take the original ambition you wrote, put it on your drawer and look at it every morning before you go to school and every night before you go to sleep" said Steve's dad
Steve did that... Steve Harvey is now a retired stand-up comedian who has his own show called "The Steve Harvey show" that airs on TV five times a week.
This brings me to my rant... What the fck?? How dare you discourage a kid from dreaming? How dare you teach him to limit his ambition? Yes there are people that are strong willed and would not let anyone discourage em, people such as Eminem who no one believed in, including his mom... But what of the other set of people who need to be encouraged??? Huh?? Do you know how many fucking people are living miserable lives working at a bank or a restaurant just because their wings were clipped when they tried to fly as a kid?
Of course You don't,all these miserable adults know is Doctors, lawyers, engineers and all those boring shit, now I ain't got no problem with those professional jobs Cauz someone's gotta do it... But what of music, photography, art, dancing someone's also gotta do it for fck sake do not discourage them...
Well I've made a decision to support my kids and before I enroll them in a school I'd go meet the teachers and tell em "My child is special, my child is unique, my child is gifted, hence he/she can be whatever the f*ck they wanna be and if I have to come back here because you told em that they cannot dream big and be whatever they wanna be, I'll stick my foot so far up your ass you gon have toes for teeth"
Thank you, God bless you!
