Helen Keller's story is truly a great example to use. A lot of people want the easy and fast way. I think it may be because the world is too immersed in a fast-paced lifestyle that's heavily influenced by technology that made a lot of things easier. It took some effort away that learning of persistence, patience, and hardwork being important took a back seat. And people are less likely to sacrifice something to get anywhere like what you did staying up and all. Very inspiring post. I hope more people take a leaf off of your page.
