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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
