“I lost my ID twenty years ago, and haven’t been able to get a new one, so technically I don’t exist. But for the record— I do exist, my name is Paul Ambrose, I was born on July 4th, 1948, I grew up in Tennessee, and on the day Martin Luther King was killed, I said ‘Forget this,” and bought a bus ticket to New York because it was $20 cheaper than a ticket to California.”

This is my favorite story because this man is a free spirit and does what he want. He decided to hop on a train and go to a city to make a life for himself. To me that shows courage and determination, what else do you need if you have that.
