I nurture an optimism that there in something more than heart ache in this world. I foster the audacity to believe I can work with my own two hands for a better world, for this "something more". I watch hope chronically infect those who work from their hearts and I see communities of hope rise up around adversity. Some of my greatest friends were made as we fought side by side for this idea of something more. Together, our hope spills out around us and our lights overwhelms the world. We cannot help but change the world in this way, as we are changed by our commitment to this dream.
I have been inspired to reach beyond the narrow scope of opportunity that was set before me. I am ignoring statistics about people like me, ignoring borders, finance, and all rational practicality. I am invoking the audacity to dream of something more. Here, even in the enormous face of limitation, I begin to dream that anything is possible.
