Letter 62 - Nothing Would Stop Her!

Hello Bregdan Woman!

You have Ginny today…

You won’t find this woman in your history books, yet her actions and determination impacted history, as well as the many lives she touched.

Let’s call her Abby. One of my readers; I’m delighted she shared her story with me.

Abby grew up dreaming of going to college. She loved to read, and she loved to learn. School was a complete joy.

Unfortunately, her life didn’t support her dream. She was the third child of a middle-class working family. She had two older brothers, and four younger siblings. Her job was to help take care of the younger children, and work around the house.

She managed to do all that, and still excel at school. When she was preparing to enter high school, she chose college path courses that would prepare her to be a nurse.

She never got to take those courses.

Her parents sat her down and explained they couldn’t afford to send her to college. It would be better if she took business classes, found a job as a secretary, and focused on getting married.

Abby was shocked and heartbroken. With one conversation, she saw her dream die before her eyes. At least her dream at that moment. She shed many tears, but the whole time she was crying, she vowed that she would go to college, and she would graduate. Even if it took her the rest of her life!

She had no idea she could have asked a school counselor for help with student loans. Her parents had said she wasn’t going to college – she wasn’t going to college.

She followed the path her parents told her to take. She took business classes – including accounting, typing and shorthand.

She got married very young and had three children.

She also never gave up on her dream.

Five years after she graduated from high school, she went to college – working full-time at her business job. She took on a second job to pay for her classes, caring for her children during all of it.

Her dream pulled her forward. When she was exhausted… when her children were sick… when she wasn’t sure she could keep going. Her dream carried her through all the challenges.

While other students didn’t show up for class, she never missed one. She valued education, and she wanted to be sure to get her money’s worth.

It took Abby eight years to get her college degree, but she did it! Her husband and children cheered the loudest when she walked down the aisle in her cap and gown.

They celebrated with her when she quit her other jobs and became a nurse.

Abby had made her dream come true!

Funny things about making dreams come true. Often, because you’ve proven to yourself what you can do, they inspire a new dream.

When Abby was 40, she went back to school to get her master’s degree in nursing.

Once again, her children, who were now also college graduates, cheered the loudest.

Abby told me she is proud to be a Bregdan Woman. In her words… “A Bregdan Woman never gives up, she stays strong, and she is educated.”

I couldn’t agree more, Abby!

What dreams have you not been able to fulfill?

What are you willing to do to make them happen?

How will your life change if you make your dreams come true?

I believe in you!
