My Dreams When I'm Older

I want to help the world...

My Dreams When I'm Older
Mariana Reyna

I may only be 20 years old but I feel like I have a lot of knowledge and experiences on certain things to make me want to be a voice for the world if that’s even possible. I grew up with such strong adult figures in my life my mom and dad that have taught me so much about life in different aspects and perspectives. Growing up as well I have learned the ropes on how to handle certain situations and how to be a voice to others.

Ever since I was younger I always knew I wanted to help others around me. I grew up wanting to be a doctor but then shortly realized blood scares me and I would probably faint before the patient. Then I got into business because I knew I wanted to manage people and feel like the dominant figure, which then made me realize I can also be a voice, and I don’t just have to dictate in an office. My life goal is to one day speak to masses of people and to encourage them to keep going. Some have dreams of working in an office or being stuck doing busy work but my goals are to help everyone around me.

Some people may feel stumped everyday or may feel as if all that surrounds them is problems at home or their social life’s and I want to be able to heal them. Although I have realized that it's better to worry about myself and not be surrounded by others problems otherwise they affect my mood that isn’t what I want to do I just want to be a voice. Even if I just talk to someone for 10 minutes I’ve had people tell me they feel at ease or they feel as if they have a helping hand and that makes me feel so good about myself. I think that ever since I found myself and my purpose and I’m living such a joyous life I have been able to be an example to others even adults.


My parents have mentioned that I have been such a light to their life recently and that they have been able to get through some of their issues and reflect that onto their friends as well because of how I aid them through situations or speak to them in a way that makes them feel at ease. My dream is to one day help others and give them healing words to make them feel comforted knowing that everyday there will be a step closer to a dream and a place to feel content and happy with themselves. I want to be a healing voice when I am older.

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.
