John Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, John often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to pay for food, but John still kept hoping to own a horse farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper talking about his dream of having a horse farm one day. He even drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed it to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back.
