Hey, it's Terry, your cheerleader of dreams.

I want to tell you an incredible story about a little girl named Liz.

Back in the 1980s, her dad left when she was six years old.

Her mom was working day and night just to care for the family, very difficult. Her mom had two jobs.

In fact, her mom would tell her, you know, that her goal was, you know, she wished she could spend more time with her, but she said,

I'm working so hard so that I can send you to college one day so you can get a good job, make enough money, and she said, my dream is for you to take Mama on a trip around

the world. Well, Liz dreamed of taking her mom on a trip around the world. Well, one day

her aunt came to her when she was about 11 years old and she just said, you know, you're by

yourself a lot, your mom's working two jobs. She said, I think you should join the Girl

Scouts. Well, she joined the Girl Scouts.

Turns out they had a contest.

Whoever sells the most boxes of cookies wins a trip for two around the world.

Can you believe this?

Well, when Liz heard that, something went off in her and she thought,

I don't have to wait for Mama to save

money, for me to go to college, get a job. I'm going to win this trip and take Mama now.

Well, Liz went to the apartment complex. She joined the Girl Scouts. She went door to door

knocking on as many doors as she could asking if they want to buy a box of cookies. Well,

the manager got so many complaints

because if people turned her down, Liz would go back the very next day and ask again. Would

you like to buy a box of cookies? Finally, the manager called Liz's mom and said, honey, tell

your daughter she cannot go door to door anymore. We are getting so many complaints. He said, but here's what I'll do. She can set up a little booth in the foyer. So she did. She set up a booth and found out this works better. They had to pass her to get to the elevator. So after school, every day she would set up a little booth, she would press her little uniform and sell her cookies.
