Dream crushing dragons

     Everyone usually ends up sometime facing a dragon in their life that shoots words of fire, delivers crushing blows and inflicts physical and mental pain as they attempt to ruin your dreams.  These dragons will not stop until they have either become victorious or slain. I have recently faced my dragon.  Yes, it is a she beast who is very powerful and is much older than me. Over the past few weeks, she has tried to discourage me from achieving my dream.  She told me that I likely won't make it and will be lucky to end up as an exercise rider. Since trying to discourage me from being a jockey didn't work, she tried to remove me from the program. Using my past accident, she tried to convince higher authorities that I was not physically stable enough to be a jockey and should not be allowed to pursue my dreams.  Her accusations crushed me.   Experiencing a full recovery from my accident, hearing my doctor tell me that I was restriction free and being admitted to the NARA was a great victory for me. Now, one person is challenging my dream and making me relive my accident over again.   It was a tremendous blow, but I managed to stand what little ground I had and not be defeated.  It has been a very tough week.  Although she is trying to destroy me, the day will come when I will be the victor.   I will not back down and have someone crush my dreams.
        Here is the dragon herself,  "Jezebel, " named after the evil biblical princess that destroyed and betrayed many people with dreams of their own.
