“One of my friends said: ‘Do you honestly think you will ever win it?’

“I said, ‘I had dreamed about it but wasn’t sure.’

“He said: ‘If you don’t believe it, it’ll never happen.’ From then on, I said I would believe it could.

“When I ended my talk I told the kids: ‘Next time you see me, I’ll have won it!’ But I didn’t think it would come this quickly!”
