his response?
"So you're saying there's a chance. YES!"
There is plenty of encouragement out there, I got none of mine from home. All my encouragement came from looking at the world and asking myself, "What is stopping me from getting that?" Maybe I am the exception to the rule, but I don't think I am that special. Everyone has choices, and nobody but the individual is responsible for their choices but them. Period.

That movie is called "Dumb and Dumber" for a reason. A really small chance is exactly that: a really small chance. Think about that concept for a while.
Every has choices, and the outcome of choices is determined by who someone is. Who someone is is largely determined by things like upbringing, culture, etc.
People may be responsible for their own choices, but society has the responsibility to see how its very structure influences the choices people make.
