...Sorority member, ROTC Army, Student Manager for dinning commons, RAM Squad dancer. I was born and raised in an urban area; then we moved to America for better education and career for my sisters and I. My parents were not that educated but they spent all their life savings on my sister’s and I’s education. They had a dream for us to get better jobs. As for me, I went to the richest school in India and had the best education that I could have. I didn’t have any goals or dreams about what I wanted to do and what I should do to achieve them— all I knew was that I wanted to be a police officer in the future. The day I moved to America and to my new high school, I realized I needed dreams that would make my life easier and bring a better future to me. This is why I believe in Dreams. They are the most amazing things in life. We all love to dream and we all love I was born and raised in an urban area; then we moved to America for better education and career for my sisters and I.

...Dare To Dream The beauty of dreaming is amazing, it can take you anywhere in reality. What I dream of is a goal to be set, it is a journey to be taken. When I dream, I force myself to take the challenge and walk into unknown grounds to bring everything I dream into a reality. Some of these day time dreams would come to reality, like the time I dreamed of becoming good in math, but some dreams are not meant to be and other could be way to far from our hands. Some when realized fulfill you of happiness and you just want to live in that moment. I believe that dreams are like a treasure to be search for and discovered. The first time I found myself chasing my dreams was when I was in the fifth grade. It all started by the middle of the last semester, we were learning long division, but my background in math was really bad. I was lucky to know how to add. I was never a good student, but it was difficult for me to concentrate and pay attention. During class I would picture myself being the best in every subject, especially math. I desired that dream to be true more than anything, so I decided to bring it to life. First I tried to concentrate, but it was difficult. Months passed and I kept struggling with long divisions. One day I was trying to solve a long division for my homework, I started to analyze the equation and ask myself questions about it, then I discovered how to solve them. At the end of the year I was awarded a diploma for my achievement in math. Ever since, I...

...many have tried to extinguish it. I take this creative duty seriously, because someone, along the way, lit my fire and inspired me to do theatre. Ever since, I have immersed myself in the world of theatre, and I never knew it would impact me the way that it has. These last few years, under the instruction of Elizabeth Walpert, I have learned more life lessons and revelations than I have in the past sixteen years of my life. This school year has most easily become the most monumental, for I learned what I wanted to do for the rest of my life: inspire those around me through a love of the arts and God....

...2011 My Dream “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe” Anatole France. Growing up I’ve always wanted to live on a beach. Always watching movies and seeing pictures made me want that dream even more. To make this dream come true, I know I have a great deal of work ahead of me. Create a goal to get through school and get a good job, saving up all the money I can, to pay for this place that I want to call my dream home. While making my way through high school I would always tell my parents how I wanted a beautiful home on a beach. They always told me to go get good grades and go to school to get a good job. Through high school I really struggled to get the grades that I knew would get me somewhere. When I realized that I could push myself to do better in school I took advantage of that opportunity. I went out and found tutors and got the help that I needed to raise my grades. As time went on I kept succeeding and I was getting A’s and B’s instead of C’s and D’s. Even if my dream of living on a beach didn’t come true I would still want to look back and know that I did well in school. After getting accepted into college, I’ve never felt so accomplished. Cause I knew that I was actually going somewhere in life. Deciding what I wanted to study was a big obstacle. Following a bunch of different research I decided what I was going to study. I decided to study Radiology. It was one of the career fields that fit my personality...

...05/24/10 I Had Too Much to Dream According to the writers of the hit sitcom GLEE, “A dream is something that fills up the emptiness inside. The one thing that you know if it came true, all of the hurt would go away”. If this is the attitude of the population, then we are all destined to disappointment. Dreams do not necessarily make you happier; dreams are something you long for, but who is to say we know what is best for ourselves? We are all biased to our own desires. We all long to do things in our lives, thinking that if we were to achieve our goals then our lives would be “complete”. These goals can be simple and attainable, or they can be dreams of being a rich and famous movie star or athlete. Sometimes what we long for will come true and everything will be as we imagined; sometimes we are given what we want, but when we get it, it does not seem to be enough; other times our dreams will not come true at all. Given the uncertainty of the outcome of our dreams, the thought that “attaining them can only lead to happiness” is a path to destruction. In The Great Gatsby, the mysterious character of Gatsby has become so consumed in pursuing his dream, that he has convinced himself the only way he could ever be happy is to have that dream. This is very sad and immature to me. Gatsby had a wonderful life: a dad that loved him, many people bowing at his feet to be his friend, a huge house, and great amounts of money. Many people would die to have the life of Gatsby, but getting...

...MY DREAM IS TO BECOME A TEACHER” The decision to enter a career in teaching is not something to be taken lightly. There are hundreds and hundreds of other careers to choose from. So I ask myself this question and ponder the reasons, why I want to become a teacher. Upon asking another teacher this question I got a quick response of June, July, and August. There has to be more to it than just summer vacation, right? Some of the other reasons people might give are such things like: they feel a calling to teach; a chance to positively impact the community; having a commitment to students; and being a good role model. But just what does all this mean to me and my pursuit to be an educator? Ultimately, I believe it will lead to a brighter future for me, and for my family. Let us take a little deeper look at some of the rewards of teaching. Everyone wants to be recognized for things they do in life, whether they are willing to admit it or not. I would love one day to have my name called out at an assembly to receive a certificate, plaque, or maybe even a banner, for being awarded Teacher of the Year. This would be a really great way to mark my accomplishments and distinguish myself among my colleagues. Teaching is not all about fame and recognition though. Knowing that I am doing a job that makes a difference, like teaching a child how to read and write, learn what respect is, and take responsibility for their actions will be meaningful...

...DREAMS, YOUTH, PASSION Dreams, youth, and passion are three essential elements in life. Unrealized dreams are just illusions. You got to carry them out, make them come true. Two years ago, our life mentor in school asked our class, “How well do you know yourself from your interests to your capabilities and your dreams?” I was staring blankly at her. I really didn’t know what to answer. She randomly called for students to share their answers. I can’t even imagine if I was called on that day. How much do I know myself? How deep do I even know about me? Basically, I’m the youngest and the only daughter to an architect husband and an accountant wife. I have an older brother. I’m seventeen years old, a college sophomore taking up BFA Advertising Arts. Apart from these things, what else do I know? I’ve always thought that I was way too different from all the other girls of my age. I lack femininity and I don’t wear makeup and stylish clothes like them. Let’s just say that I have my own style. Beyond fashion and style, there’s something that really sets me apart from them- dependence. Most ladies are dependent on guys. They are constantly searching for gentlemen who would actually take care of them. I am way too far to being like that. Considering the fact that I grew up in an environment dominated by females, I think I’ve become more independent than the others. On the bright side, I can run errands around just like what men can do. On the other hand, I tend to scare...

...that life is shorter than one expects. Why waste time when you can be practicing or achieving your goals and dreams; to be successful in life or make an accomplishment that can make you known to the world. Hopefully as time flies by, I will accomplish my three main goals on my Bucket list. Hopefully my dreams and goals will come true and it will prove to other people in this world that having a bucket list can actually work. My three goals are to be scouted from college baseball scouts, have a nice home with six rooms and three bathrooms, and to be remembered for playing the sport that I love which is baseball. One of the accomplishments that I hope to achieve in my life is to be scouted by a college coach. Getting to play on a college team is very hard to achieve. There is an abundant amount of competition around looking for a chance to get scouted. I hope to maintain high averaged grades, keep healthy and not risk injuries, and lastly to motivate myself to become a better athlete. Getting into baseball in college is a huge step further into my future. It will help get everything in my life to stay on track. Also it will help me as a person to become a mature young adult.

...Why We Dream and What Our Dreams Mean There are several theories to why people have the dreams they have. Yet there are no definitive answers to this age old question. One theory is the Evolutionary Theory which states that we dream to practice responses to threatening situations. Cognitive scientist has shown that our amygdala (the fight-or-flight piece of the brain) fires more than normal when we're in REM sleep the time in sleep when we dream. So even though your body is not moving it is practicing the fight or flight response. Another theory is to organize the brain. Everyday our minds are filled with new information both consciously and unconsciously. This theory suggests dreaming is a way to file away key information and discard meaningless data. It helps keep our brains organized and optimizes our learning. There is yet another theory that suggests dreams help to solve problems or cope with trauma. Based on the intensity of our emotions, we will generate dreams to cope with certain situations. Although, scientists generally seem to agree that dreaming is a form of thinking during sleep. I decided to keep track of my dreams over a three week time period so that I could analyze how many times I had a certain dream and to find out what the dreams meant. It is very interesting to see what is going on in my subconscious. I went to dreammoods.com to find out what the meanings were. In one dream I was pregnant with not a human child but puppies.

...essay ENG4U-42 A Dream within a Dream By Edgar Allen Poe Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? Analysis My initial glance through this poem I realise that the poet is not really talking about a dream. He compares life metaphorically to a dream within a dream. The structure of this poem is not a standard rhyming pattern which halts the reader in order to absorb what is being said. The poem consists of nine couplets and two triplets. The opening stanza, for example, begins with a triplet, then shifts to couplets and the second stanza shifts from couplets to triplet in the middle then shifts back to the original pattern. The poem expresses the poet’s frustration of the uncertainty and temporariness of life and people. He compares life and dreams because when we dream, it seems so real but when we are awakened by the roar of life we realise that...

...Everyone has their own dreams. No matter big or small, each and everyone of us has one. Dreams are something we can fathom, anything our heart desires, anything at all. In life, we were told to pursue our dreams, by our parents, our teachers, and also our friends. To others, my dreams seemed unreal. Just aimless thoughts in my mind. But to me, my dreams are what I want to be in the future because I know, there is no limit to a dream. Initially, like any other little kids, I wanted to be what everyone wants to be. During that time, everyone wanted to be a policeman. I consider it a very noble job for someone to do because it involves the safety of people around them. But nevertheless, that dream did not went on for long. As I grew up, I knew more about dreams and ambition. From that point of my life, I told myself to have a dream which I would put effort to achieve it. Because dreams are what you want to be in the future. So, I decided to set my goals and put in my best efforts. I wanted to be a pilot. Because since I was a small young boy, i was already in love with aviation. I was amazed by the fact that some metal based structure could soar high in the skies. As i grew up, i knew i wanted to be a part of it. Because my mother used to tell me that it is easier to wake up to something you love or enjoy doing. But unfortunately, I did not meet the requirements to being a pilot. But that did not stop me. One way or another, I still wanted to be involved in aviation. So i did...
