Billy, the first born, grew up in a family of simple means. He was curious, quite stubborn, and willing to take a chance. He had little opportunity, or incentive, to improve the quality of his life. He had no mentors to instill in him the benefits of going to school, or realizing a career. He had little money and no dreams. At a moment in time, he became aware that he alone was responsible for his future. He discovered that if he worked hard, and lived with some heartache, there may be a chance he could achieve a successful and fulfilling life. His hope is to inspire those who wonder if they will have a happy future while growing up under difficult circumstances. He suggests taking a positive approach to living while having perseverance in all that you do. He believes that everyone is capable of achieving his dream when you take a chance on life, and discover any talents that you may have.
