...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...

...very soundly at night. My sleep is generally undisturbed by dreams but one night, I had a pleasant dream. I dreamt that I had won Rs. 1 crore in a derby lottery. My joy knew no bounds. My parents, too, felt overjoyed. I received numerous telegrams of congratulation from my friends and relatives. For a time, I felt elated. I was mad with joy. I could not decide how to spend the huge amount. I thought over the matter and hit upon a solution. I decided to have a decent bungalow far removed from the din and noise of the city, surrounded by a garden, with rarest flowers and trees in it. This would cost me Rs. 30 lakhs. I would live there comfortably, in the lap of nature and nearer God. I decided to spend Rs. Ten lakhs on a beautiful Rolls Royce, one of the best cars. I would drive it myself. Every morning I would take my parents and family for a long drive along the mall and the canal. This would add to my status and position in society. I would invest Rs. Twenty lakhs, on the establishment of a steel rolling mill. This would provide employment for about 40 souls and give me a monthly income of Rs. 50,000. This would ensure me a comfortable living. I would gradually become a mill-owner. I would donate Rs. 15,000 to the Punjab University as an endowment fund out of which a scholarship of Rs. 25 per mensem would be awarded to a student irrespective of caste or creed, who would stand first in the matric examination, from amongst the candidates of my village. This would serve...

...A stereotypical part of everyone’s American dream is the ability to go to a college or university and obtain a degree and further their lives. Since this idea was popular enough to become a stereotype, people must have a reason for including it. Mine is simple, I have a passion. My earliest memories of my obsession with the natural world stem from when I must of been four or five, waddling around my uncle’s backyard. I engrossed myself in every detail of his lakefront backyard, flowering bladderwort on the lake, tiny juvenile American toads hopping around my feet, and towering pitch pines above my head; I was in heaven. Next I start exploring the 171 acres of wildlife refuge known as Cedar Run, sitting right in my own backyard. Visiting the...

...this term. The word " Dreamer " elicit in me the image of someone who has great plans for the future, but never is willing to stand up, overcome the obstacle that stand in the way and make his or her dreams true. I will rather be known as a doer because I assiduously pursue my dreams. For Instance, nobody believed I could be admitted to any university. I moved from the Dominican Republic to the United States of America about six years ago with none English language skills at all when I was on the mid of my sophomore year in high school. After school, I had to work to help in the household. A Spanish-speaking women with very low English proficiency, whose parents have low-income, does not have future. All that was expected of me was that to continue the pattern of many Latino immigrants: work in factories, or retail settings for the minimum wage. Nevertheless, although there is nothing wrong with being a blue collar worker, I did not want this for my future. I knew that we, the Latinos community, were underserved in all the spectrum from education to mental health services, because there were not many Latinos out there who advocates in our favor. I wanted to change it, and I knew that it can be possible only with education. Therefore, I worked hard to improve my language skills and in my senior year I was accepted into Kean...

...When I was a kid, I’ve always appreciated the wonders of science and how it greatly contributes to our society in different aspects. At first, I wanted to be a Dentist like my parents because I saw how great it was to be one however, due to my young mind, it changed throughout time. When I was in Elementary, I wanted to be a Pediatrician because I loved kids back then. However, my affection towards kids vanished and it made me confused on which profession to choose. Now that I’m mature enough to make decisions for myself, I managed to come up with the decision of being a Neurologist. Being a Neurologist might be a difficult job but the reason why I chose it is because studying and treating neurological disorders has always fascinated me. The idea of helping people with neurological disorders has always been the reason on why I want to be a Neurologist. Not the salary, not the benefits that I could get but the idea of helping is what’s keeping me going.

...GROWTH PLAN A convenient starting point for a discourse of this nature would, expectedly, be to provide a brief sketch of my background. My formative years of knowledge- acquisition were spent at various educational institutions in Nigeria. Specifically, between the year 2004 and 2008, I was at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State for degree program leading to the award of Bachelor of Science in Geography. My inquisitive and adventure loving nature steered me easily to the sciences. I chose to study Geography because the earth in itself provides an immeasurable source of instantaneously occurring mysteries. I then went ahead to start my career in sales at a reputable Telecommunications company in Nigeria. After four years mastering the art of sales I decided a career change or at the least career advancement was needed to succeed in this competitive world, hence my decision to pursue a Masters in Business Administration to hone my analytical skills. There are various principles that shape my vision, goals, path and my life’s journey. Amongst the factors that drive me is a passion for excellence, excellence in everything I set out to do however minute the task is. The need to be a pacesetter, a trail blazer, someone that questions the status quo is inherently ingrained in me. Also, having an acute dislike for mediocrity is another factor that has an impact on my outlook to life, mediocrity is defined as the quality of being average or ordinary, why be ordinary when I can be extraordinary...

...Reynardo Marks Organizational Behavior Professor Clint Releyea September 10, 2013 “My Dream” My dream is to become a successful Marketing Executive at a Fortune 500 company. Since I was a little boy, I’ve always loved watching creative commercials, not actually knowing why they had the commercials or what they were about, but the creative process behind it intrigued me. I’ve always wanted to know what was the creative process behind them and how they came up with those concepts. My parents have always told me that you can be anything you put your mind to. I’ve always kept that in the back of my mind growing up. Through my experience here at Arkansas State University, I feel that they are giving me all the necessary tools in order for me to reach my fullest potential. Continuing to challenge me in all that I do is going to make me a stronger competitor in the business world. I have taken numerous academic trips throughout my college career in association to some of the honor societies in which I belong to help push me a step further than my peers. Branching out and networking with other people around the world is very important. One must continue to make those connections and possibly be a light to others. In order for me to reach my goal, I must continue to stay steadfast on my journey. I know that the road to success isn’t easy, however, I do feel that I am up for the task at hand. Although I seemed a bit ill prepared for the last exam, I believe,...

...My first job had a huge influence on my future career. I was very grateful to have a very good boss at that time. His name was James, and he was more than forty years old. He was an American overseas Chinese. Before he set up a culture company for which I worked, he was the CEO of an electric appliance company. He always treated people very friendly with a big smile, and he was concerned about the health and mood of his employees. The sense of accomplishment which I got from my first job is really unforgettable. Under James’ leadership, I felt valuable to the company. He asked us to do the work with a clear purpose, and gave us up to date information in the regular meetings. When you were recognized in a company-wide meeting, a sense of pride was indescribable. The company had just set up recently, and our business was overseas cultural exchange. Most of us were engaged in a new field, even our boss. Our work was certainly imperfect, because we were in the exploratory stage. However, our boss never blamed our work; he just said to keep it up. The boss gave out wages personally every monthly. As a result of the small-scale, the boss would take one day at the end of the month for a face-to face interview with everyone. Mostly, he encouraged us and talked about promotion initiatives. There was also a very intimate habit, that each time he would send everyone a specialty gift from his hometown after we finished the conversation. The most motivation for us was the effect our boss...

...My thoughts, my dreams On the surface I think I am like most young and modern women: I take studying very seriously, I have dreams and goals for the future that I am determined to make it happen, and I do not expect anyone to do the hard work for me. My roots are from an average family, my father is a carpenter and my mother is a tailor. Even though we are not a well to do family, I still feel that I am very lucky to have a supportive family behind me. What makes me different from everyone my age, is how I choose to fill my time away from school. Since I know that we need to exert extra effort to be able to help ourselves buy our school stuff or pay our tuition fees, I have sought a job during summer that would teach me new skills and give me a sense of fulfillment. I turned out to be a tutor to the young kids in the community. In this way, I am not only helping myself and my family, but the kids and their family as well. The kids tend to spend more time studying, learn new ideas, useful tips and increase their knowledge instead of concentrating into unproductive things. Parents are confident that I am looking after their kids and that kids will have additional knowledge apart from the normal academic teachings. Naturally, kids love playing particularly, it is summer time and therefore, I have thought of mixing theories with fun and exciting games that offer invaluable life lessons, which includes being a good friend, team member, compassion for others and how...

...1101/48 10 September 2012 My Dream Home My dream home that I design will be all that I imagine and more. It will be a three bedroom, Ranch-styled, brick home with a three car garage and a massive double front door. Some of the interior features will include a chef’s kitchen and spa-like on-suites. Outdoors will consist of meandering pathways through colorful shade gardens that lead up to a flagstone terrace that overlooks the in-ground swimming pool. The ultimate chef’s kitchen in my home will have cool black granite countertops lining the walls, breakfast bar, and island. A double-oven and pasta sink is a must for an Italian inspired kitchen. An oversized copper sink with the apron showing would be housed around the breakfast bar for easy access. The warm glow from the pendant lighting surrounding the kitchen with rich copper undertones sets the perfect mood lighting as I cook delicious creations with sinful aromas. Afterwards, I can wash my cares away by visiting one of the spa-like on-suites just off of any one of the bedrooms. Each one includes a walk-in shower with stunning rainfall showerheads and travertine tiles. If I prefer a soak, I can slide into a warm bubble bath in one of the copper claw-foot tubs situated by a picture window overlooking the many gardens. Once my senses have been renewed, I can wander outdoors to peaceful surroundings. ...

...108 C.Shane Dreams of My Father Before (pre reading) When I saw this book on our list of reads for our class I was excited about Dreams of My Father because I was interested in learning more about our president. Barack Obama will forever be known as our first African American president that I had the privilege of being around to be a part of. Looking at the cover my first thought was about the kids in the photos, I believed they were himself and his sister with his grandparents. The cover also lets me know that no matter who you are, what the color of your skin is, anyone will relate in some way because of the little words that read “this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white”. Background Knowledge 1. “Barry? Barry is this you?” “Yes…Who’s this?” “Yes, Barry… this is your Aunt Jane. In Nairobi. Can you hear me?” “Aunt Jane. Listen, Barry your father is dead. He was killed in a car accident”. The worst phone call I ever received came 3 years ago when I was standing in line at 6 flags to ride a roller coaster and my uncle called me, I answered the phone to him crying telling me that my father has died. Pg. 5 2nd paragraph. 2. Pg. 6&7 “we call my grandmother Tutu, toot for short, it means “grandparent” in Hawaiian”. At home my daughter and step daughter call their grandmother “Mama” instead of Abuela or grandma. 3. Pg.129 “Barack. I always wanted to tell you how much I love you”. This was the first dream Barack had a dream where he really...
