Everyone has dreams. People start dreaming from when they're young, and want to be firefighters or ballerinas or singers. And as they grow, their dreams grow with them and develop into something that reflects the. Dreams change into wanting a career, a family, true love, and happiness in life, and anything in between. They're unique to each person and to each personality, and a person's dreams and desires tells a lot about them and what kind of person they are, and its really interesting to compare these dreams with those of others around them. So I asked 10 people if they had any dreams and what they are.

1. ​"To have a successful future."

Maria Martinez, 18

2. "I want to be genuinely happy with myself and the people in my life."

Donya Moghaddari, 17

3. "I want a world that's near immortal, that won't fall apart until future generations are ready to support it fully."

Daniel Woods, 17

4. "I want to be content with a simple life."

Ariba Ahmed, 18

5. "The world to be a place like that of the mind of a more peaceful person."

Aniketh Narayanan, 18

6. "A better environment."

Sruti Chitluri, 18

7. "Be a famous choreographer."

Michelle Ifarinde, 17

8. "To make money"

Niha Reddy, 17

9. "To be a doctor."

Katarina Amelchenko, 18

10. "I want to be a point in my life where I am able to reflect and positively define my growth in all spheres of my life. I want to grow as a person, make more emotional connections with people, help people help themselves and love people uninhibitedly. I want to grow professionally as a young scholar, learn how to learn, learn how I specifically learn as an individual and pursue my academic interests."

Ifrah Waris, 21

Everyone shares similar wants and desires- happiness, success, money, fame- but seeing the unique dreams that each person has makes us understand how special each person is and how we all have things we want, and that's what makes us human. We can connect with others through the fact that we all have things special and dear to us that we want to achieve.

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.

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.
