Follow your Dreams

If you Believe you can Go for it!!

5

So you think you can achieve whatever you want, you are absolutely right! You can be whatever you want in life.

As a five year old dreams of being a dancer her mom says Keep Dreaming and you will get there.

Getting there isn't as easy as it may sound, dancing takes alot of hard work and dedication. Kids are dreaming to be a dancer, actor, doctor, etc.

First Step: Imagine being a dancer on a stage full of many people watching you gracefully go across the stage. You give it your best and the crowd goes wild when you are finish. As soon as you get out of school, you get a scholarship to go to a dancing school. Dancing School is much harder than you ever imagined but you realize this is exactly what you have wanted. You give it your all and go to an audition and judges tell you that isn't what they were looking for. Do you quit? No. Do you give up? No. You will continue practicing and you keep trying. You may go for several auditions and it only makes you stronger and better.

After several attempts to make your dreams come true, you may start thinking you are not good enough. You meet so many new friends in the process from various places. You start to realize how lucky you are to be where you are in life.

Yes it is hard following your dreams especially while working, trying to keep a roof over your head and food to eat. Starving Artists is what we are called until we make it where we want to be in life. It is easy as five year old to dream it but life happens and it isn't always easy to follow our dreams and goals.

Don't ever let anyone discourage you or tell you are not good enough because you are good enough. Most girls dream of being a dancer, a princess is what they may see in their life.

Second Step:

Have Confidence in yourself! It does help that you have family and friends who support you. It doesn't matter if you have support from anyone, you have to do what makes you happy. Go to every audition that you can. Do your best!

Step Three: No matter what happes in your life whether you started a family sooner than you wanted, lose a loved one or whatever the case may be keep trying. You can accomplish anything yes you may go through so many different obstacles but you can do it. It doesn't matter if you are in your thirties, forties, fifties go for your goal and dreams. Have Confidence in yourself!!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
