An Open Letter To The Big Dreamer

We chase dreams that are unrealistic sometimes.

Have you ever been told your dreams are unrealistic? Or, the choices you make in the career you choose will greatly effect you? In this world, not many of us are taken seriously because we are chasing dreams rather than looking over tests that require us to take the time we have in school seriously. What we don't know is that it's ok to chase after dreams, but to also have a clear conscious when meeting at the turning lane of where to go next.

In this world, we're told to do our best, but sometimes our best isn't enough. To the dreamers out there, don't be afraid to reach your goals; no matter how unrealistic. Set up a game plan to get yourself there. It helps to have GPS where ever your dream is. Be the big dreamer you've always been, set those goals and make yourself run to that finish line. Come graduation day, when some have an idea of where they're going, what would be your calling? Where would you go and what would you do?

With those careers that are unrealistic and hard to come by, it can seem like it is oceans away. It seems close, but it truly isn't, unless you have connections and money to make yourself known. It's hard to make it anywhere, even as a doctor, lawyer, and president. Making it in Congress is even hard. Every career you set your mind to, it's going to be hard. There are no easy routes to take in order to get to the dream you've had growing up.

Reaching a goal is important because of the sense of relief that comes with the realization that you've finished a task that has taken a while to finish. The realization of achieving a goal is so rewarding because it gives you that feeling of accomplishment. The excitement that comes with wanting something is a feeling only those who want to be successful get

If you truly seek to be the next doctor, lawyer, or even entertainer, set a game plan. Don't feel bad if you don't make it right away, it happens with time. Without a game plan, our world would not be what it is today.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
