My name is Robert Goldengate, and I am the strongest knight in history. To the outside world, I’m an ordinary man trying to start a career in finance; but, secretly, with the help of my DeviantArt friends, I fight criminals and protect innocent people using my buckypaper armor and sword in addition to COLT: an intelligent, fighting Ford Mustang invented by a late genius billionaire.
What I am is a symbol: the idea that anyone, no matter their past or present struggles, can rise up again stronger than before. I represent the concept that success, regardless of the obstacles, is never truly borne out of reach. If you have one or more ideas that you want to share with the world but have encountered stumbling blocks along the way, then I know what it is to be you, and I want you to pick yourself up and continue towards success. And the best way to rise above naysayers is simply not to submit to their vapid fury. Know this, and you, too, can dream the impossible dream. You, too, can fight the unbeatable foe. You, too, can run where the brave dare not go.
You, too, can reach the unreachable star.
May hope be with you always.
I am Colonel Knight Rider, the Sentinel of San Francisco.
