~A MAN WITH A PROBLEM~
A man had a big problem. Actually, he had quite a few big problems that made attaining his goals seem very far-fetched, most likely impossible. The man’s goal was to help others, to empower them to have better lives and he knew that to do this he needed to be in a position of leadership, authority, and respect. But he knew that most people who had attained such a position had come from families that had wealth and influence, and his family had neither. His mother, although she had graduated college, had struggled financially until she had passed away a few years ago, trying to raise the man and his sister as a single parent. The man's father had left when he was two and he had not helped out financially as he grew up. But the two things that both his parents did emphasize were the importance of education and hard work.
Another problem that stood in the way of the man attaining his dream was that he was born into a group that had always struggled in his country more than any other group, and because of those struggles there had always been limitations on how successful and powerful people from his group could become. He had seen others like him attain great wealth and success, but those people were the exceptional ones, because most of the people of his group were still struggling daily to just survive. He knew that the majority of people in his country didn't trust people of his group to be in a position of power and authority, just like the position he dreamed of attaining.
But, the biggest problem the man faced in attaining his goal was his name. His father had been born in another country, a country that had a far different culture than the one his son was raised in. They spoke a different language, dressed differently, had different customs, and practiced a different religion. On top of this, the man's parents had given him a name that sounded normal in his father's country but sounded strange in his mother's. Some people in the man's country even found the man's name frightening. This was not only because of the tendency among some people to find anything exotic, unfamiliar or different scary but mainly it was that his name reminded them of a group of criminals who had committed a crime so heinous and shocking that it had permanently scarred the entire nation.
So this man had a dream, but because he came from a family with no wealth or influence, he was a member of a group that wasn't highly regarded or respected, and his name reminded a lot of people of criminals, the chances of attaining his dream appeared pretty impossible. So, did the man give up on his dream because of all the problems he faced?
