However, even those small victories are much larger than most could afford, where I grew up. Many are still in the same rutt they've been in since childhood. They look at me like, "He made it", when in the grand scheme, I really haven't 'made it' at all.

Sorry for the rant. Great post, BTW.
Great add-on. It's not like I lost hope, it's about how FAR reality could take us from the initial point. Those are DREAMS, not plans. It's silly to keep dreaming about becoming an astronaut now, as an adult I build and plan, exactly how you put it.
