People dream of a perfect world, a place where sickness, war, and poverty is not evident. This fanatical dream is not one that can be accomplished. However, I believe that every human being has been given the opportunity to be able to succeed. Although people who are born into wealthy families will face less obstacles in trying to reach this goal as oppose to people born poor, everyone has the opportunity to succeed. The recipe for
success is simple: hard work. Jay-Z was born and raised with virtually nothing in the toughest area in Brooklyn, a place where drugs and gun violence was the norm. He did not let all of this influence him, and he worked extremely hard in school and focused on his rapping career, which served as a distraction. Nowadays, Jay-Z is a world renowned rapper and has had immense success with his career. Jay-Z is definitely not the only one who worked hard to get to the top, as many of the other celebrities we hear about on a day-to-day basis also faced many adversities in their lifetime. If they can do it anyone can, but success comes from hard work.

I really liked how you used Jay-Z as an example! Try not to start your sentence with 'and'.
