You can be anything you want when you're outstanding

I just wanted to share a quick success story with you all. 

Not too long ago, my sister was a young, unemployed single mother of two. She refused to accept any social security benefits as she tried to make ends meet, but it was tough because she was actually financially better off on benefits, but she kept her pride and fought on. She used to drive an old Fiat Punto which had re-occurring problems and every time it required some repair work, the mechanics would make mountains out of mole hills, until one day she had enough. She enrolled on a college course in mechanics so she could learn how to perform general repairs on her car, and avoid being ripped off in future, but turned out to be such a superstar that she was offered a job a the college as a teacher. Yesterday at an awards ceremony, she won an award for being outstanding, proving that even when you're down and the world is against you, just keep fighting and you will get there. This is for every outstanding person out there. Well done!
