Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Never give up on yourself, your dreams.

Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Flashback. We are all little children and we had big dreams. We wanted to be so many things. For me it was a singer, actress, a vet, and a dentist. Each one was a phase and I loved every minute of them. What were your dreams? Think about them.

At the age of 19 going on 20, I have an idea of what I want to do for the rest of my life, and that is becoming a psychologist. My dreams are to be successful and have a beautiful family, live on Long Island, and raise my children as close to their family as I am to mine.

At the age of four I had big dreams. I wanted to be anything and everything. What happened to those dreams? Well I grew up and I learned to be more realistic, which I guess is a good thing but I am not 100 percent certain.

Looking back at my childhood, I regret not pursuing my passion for singing. I can't help but wonder every time I go to a Broadway show that maybe it could have been my name in that playbill, me singing to thousands of people. At the age of 19, I learned.

I learned to never give up on your dreams. I learned that my future looks bright if I work hard and keep up what I am doing now. School is hard, the work is hard, and classes are boring. You need to take the fluff before you can really get down to business. But in the end it will work out, right? Stress is a common thing in college students nowadays. We work hard and we keep working to the point where it seems like it never stops. You want a semester break? Well good luck with that because it comes down to having internships and working, or even both. But you also want to see all of your friends who go to different schools.

The time we put in now pays off. Look at the people who are successful because they worked hard like we are doing now. Maybe you want to be a doctor, look at your own doctor and realize that they had to do the same exact stuff that you did now.

I wish little me realized that the singing lessons would have been great, even if they were super boring. It could have lead to something great and I could have been something. Now I am not saying I won't be something because maybe I will be. Maybe I will come up with theories and become a well known psychologist but that's besides the point.

You don't have to be famous to become something. You just have to do what you love and pursue your dreams. You do not have to agree with me but you definitely can become something. You can be the best you that you could be. Just never give up, don't just drop everything for a boy or because you don't think you are worth it. You are.

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.
