Against All Odds

Despite all limitations, I want to make a name for my self, even in Hollywood, California. Despite all of the odds stacked against me, I'm 100% living proof. Every time I tend to take a challenge like making good grades in school and talking to girls, I never backed down from a real challenge life has given me. I even had a lot of nerve for entering poetry contests, standing in front of a crowd, and attempting to become famous. I'd rather defy all of the odds and make all of the liars and the phonies out of these so-called "nay-Sayers" than letting people step on and taking advantage of me. I will do, whatever it takes, to make sure that I make it in the poetry business and the movie business in New York City and Hollywood, California. And despite me having autism, mild MR (mental retardation), and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), I will make it to the top and rise among the rest. I will have the world in my hands, and I will help the ones who have all of the odds and limitations against them. If everybody is able to follow their dreams, with God, there are no limitations, not on Earth. With all of the odds and all of the limitations stacked against me, I will fight them, and I'm going to win. When life hands you a lot of lemons, you make plenty of lemonade, and when the going gets tough, the tough go antiquing.
