If you like chocolate, then you know the name Milton Hershey. He was the one who brought chocolate to the United States.
Milton Hershey was born in Pennsylvania and raised by both parents until he was 12. His father tried business and farming (twice), but could never find and maintain success. When Milton was 12, his mother separated from Milton’s father and took her son with her. Not only that, Milton Hershey dropped out of school as well! He could only read and write at a fourth grade level.
Hershey failed at many jobs, but he found his calling in candy. He began making candy in his basement and then selling it in a little store he opened. Hershey eventually failed at that, too.
When Hershey attended a candy conference in Chicago, he discovered chocolate at the Nestle display. A lightbulb went off in his head and the rest is history.
Hershey wasn’t educated, he failed in business several times, yet he didn’t allow any of his shortcomings to deter him. He created a legacy of helping orphans and building homes for them. Hershey, Pennsylvania continues to thrive today.
Never let a lack of education or business setbacks stop you. Create your own legacy…

Wow! I really needed to hear your message today. I struggle in my career because I haven’t attained my bachelor’s degree yet. It’s a common misconception that you have to have that experience to fit in. Funny this is though that if I had gotten my degree after high school, it would be 100% irrelevant today – regardless of the major. But I could say that I have it, right? It’s ridiculous but it’s my reality. Thank you for your beautiful message!

Thank you for reading and commenting. A college degree doesn’t define who you are. You are God’s chosen person. That’s more important than anything else.
