The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said,"I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don't go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden.Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top."Then do it!" she said.
