Dreams in Life

Everybody in this world has a dream, right? Who could that person be who has no ambition in life? There is a saying that a person with no destination does not know how to travel the journey of life. It means that if someone doesn’t have a goal, he/she will have difficulty on what or where to be in life.

Since I was a child, dreaming has been part of my life. And every time I dream I see to it that it will really happen. Unless if that dream is impossible to be done such as to fly up in the sky without riding a plane or without the use of wings. Or going back to the past with the aid of a “time machine”. It really is impossible! Anyway, let us talk about the reality of life. What really is dream and what are some dreams people want to achieve?

When I am not yet studying here in UP (that was in Gr. 6) I really dreamt of passing some scholarship examinations such as those in National Science High School, Cebu Normal University, and University of the Philippines. I took the test in Science High but unfortunately, I failed to pass. Frankly, I was so disappointed about the result that is why I thought that maybe I will not pass the UP High School Admission Test. However, my family and friends continued to support me and encouraged me to do my best and never to forget to call for God’s Name. With that, I felt comfortable enough and inspired by the messages of the people around me. And with all those supports and encouragements, I was able to pass the examinations.

Now that I am studying here in UP, my dreams would not stop until there. As we all know, UP is the school where the battle of the brains happens. Each student strive to overcome the difficulties in UP. As what other people say, we are very privileged to study here in a prestigious university and to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan”. My classmates would say that to be part of the Upian family is enough. However, as what I have observed, why should a person stop up to there if that person knows that he/she can still have a greater opportunity, to be one of the honor’s lists? Therefore, I said to myself, “I can do this…” With hard work, trust in one’s self, and faith in God, I was able to meet the requirements of being an honor student. These three really affects my studies most especially manners. If you do not have good manners and right conduct, you will not be able to be a good student.

I also have a plan for my future. To graduate in UP is one. In addition, I also want to graduate in college and can land a reputable job. I want to become a doctor someday so that I can be able to help the ailing who don’t have enough money to go to the hospital. I want to help them because I want to prove to them that poverty is not a hindrance to become well. One thing also is that I want to tour around the world for the reason that I like to explore the beauty of our planet. You know what; Mme. Gallo inspired me to do my best so that I can travel the world. She often told us, “Study hard so that you can travel any where in the world.” I am more motivated to do my very best. Thanks to her! I also want to help those who have no jobs.

Dreams are always part of every individual’s life. Remember that the obstacles in life are not an excuse that each of us will stop dreaming. Instead, we will be more encouraged to fix them so that our dreams will be all right. Bear in mind that every mistake gives us lessons in order to become productive citizens of this country and better individuals of this world.
