Whoopee times 20!

The American dream is still alive and cheering.  At least that’s the way it sounded when Micheal Brown received his 20 acceptance letters.

These weren’t just any old yeses, they were yeses from America’s top universities:  Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and many sterling others.  Not only that, this 17-year-old was admitted to each “with a full ride and $260,000 in additional scholarship offers.”

How did Brown manage to achieve all that?  No secret formula, just plenty of determination, diligence and sacrifice.  You know, the American dream…

Brown’s “proud mom” confirmed this by recounting:  After sixth grade, Mike was in control of his education.  He was focused, he knew what he wanted and he made his own decisions.
