Dreams

Everyone has wishful dreams, some even have highly ornamental dreams. Some examples of dreams like being a multi-millionaire before their mid-twenties, dreams of striking lottery and dreams of out-doing the greatest inventor of light, Albert Einstein. These are common but desirable dreams that most people wish they could come true, but do they really come true? Without the willingness to achieve it and work towards it, it is impossible. I feel that dreams should be kept simple and achievable, something that is attainable but not something impossible.

Currently, I have three dreams. The first and most important dream is to send more time with my family and develop deeper feelings for them to improve our relationships. I have yet to achieve this as my parents are often busy with their work, while my sister and I are preoccupied with our studies. In order to achieve this, I think that we should take at least a day off our work and studies to spend quality time with one another. As a family, we can make use of the time together to get to know more about each other, and to pour all our troubles and secrets that had been kept in our hearts for a period of time. I have often recalled with fondness the times I had with my beloved family at a family day outing. We went to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve to watch a diversity of migratory birds breeding, feeding as well as flying high in the sky. We spotted a group of four birds, two big and two small. I assume that they are one family. Looking at them is just like my family which consists of my parents and my sister. We bonded positively and found out our common interest - enjoying the pleasant scenery.

My second dream is to score a single digit for my O' Level Examination at the end of this year. This requires a lot of hard work and good time management, but with self-discipline and perseverance, I am sure I can achieve this dream. I remember the times when my graduated seniors collected their O' Level result slips. Those who scored and aggregate of ten and below got the opportunity to stand up proudly, to let the school recognize the effort that they had put in. That was my motivation and source of this dream.

My last dream is to be a successful Geography researcher and teacher. I want to be a researcher to gain more knowledge on Geography, then become a teacher to be of service to contribute to the society as well as to inspire and nurture students. If they do well, I will feel a sense of satisfaction. I can benefit a lot of teaching as it will stimulate my brain, allow me to continue learning, brainstorming and increase my knowledge. I am also able to learn patience from handling noisy and mischievous students.

Once a person has a dream, he should strive for his best to reach for it. Although dreams are chiefly hopes and desires that the brain experiences, I have reports that explain that dreams are interlinked to what we believe in. Dreams such as getting good grades are something between the two areas which the human brain would long for. Therefore, with sheer grit and determination, achieving dreams are definitely possible.
