The Power Of The Internet & Dreams


Betty White will host Saturday Night Live in May. How did the 88 year old actress make this decision. Not by executives at NBC calling. It all started by a fan campaign on Facebook.

After watching Betty White receive the Lifetime Achievement Award on The Screen Actor's Guild Awards, a fan started a page on facebook to try and convince Saturday Night Live that they should have Betty White on the show as a host. Over 500,000 fans later, Betty White and Saturday Night Live have come to an agreement, and Betty White will host the shows May 8th episode.

It's amazing to me what a small facebook page started by 1 fan can turn into. It also shows the power of the internet. With almost everyone today having access to the internet, it is so much easier to reach people just by simply posting something on a blog or facebook page. It also shows me that dreams really can come true.

For this one person, that had a dream of seeing the legendary actress on their favorite tv show, so they simply started a fan page to try and get others like him to follow & now his dream is coming true.

This is a lesson, that any dream, whether it be something big or small, is possible.
