The lightning strike elephant

Jeremy was a small elephant; from the moment he was born, he was quite different from the rest, but he knew he wanted to be more someday, do more someday, accomplish more. He was determined to go above and beyond; he was determined to stand out and be different from the rest of the elephants. This made him a Target for nicknames and teasing from the other elephants, but he didn't care; he was tired of walking around like everyone else! He wanted to fly! He didn't want to stay stuck in one place; he wanted to experiment, he wanted to grow, he wanted to learn, and he was determined to make his dream a reality. Day after day, night after night, he began to collect balloon after balloon. One day he decided he was going to do it, today was the day he was going to fly, and the balloons would help him do that. The only problem was he noticed a storm was coming in oh, he eventually tied all the balloons to himself and tried to lift them off the ground, he almost made it, then suddenly lightning came and struck the balloons. They all popped at once; he was devastated; he thought he was ready, he felt he could do it, and then his plan Came Crashing Down. Sometimes in life, we believe something is working we believe we’re finally getting our head above water, and then something comes to knock our dreams down and to try to keep us from accomplishing what we want to achieve in life; you might have to try multiple times, you might be told you're crazy, you might be called stupid, you might be called too optimistic, too loud, too quiet, two weeks and two small, someday you will make an impact on the world. You will prove everyone wrong, and you will prove yourself wrong for not believing in you! Keep going! Get crazier! Dream bigger!
