My Dream Essay

Throughout history, numerous people have studied the human body and its many functions. One area of the body that causes much confusion and controversy is the mind. Many parts of the brain baffle scientists, but a specific aspect of the mind that is fascinating and puzzling is dreams and their functions. It is surprising that an average person dreams for at least six years of their life, but scientists still do not know the role of dreaming (Shaw). Several theories have been presented to provide a reason for dreaming, and attempt to explain what most do not understand. Although dream research has been prominent lately, no agreement has been reached on which theory is correct on the purpose of dreams. Some believe that dreams are only

“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The best has yet to come”- Zig Ziglar. Life is different for everyone, no one is raised the same no matter what we think. No one has the perfect life, with the perfect parents, the big, beautiful, house with the white picket fence in the front yard. Instead in life if we’re lucky we’ll get one of those things, but most people get none. Inside our head we have our life planned out, our career, the number of kids we want, the person we want to marry. But as we grow up and acknowledge the world around, we realize life doesn't go as planned. That you don’t marry the person you want, have the number of kids you want, and your life isn’t the same as you planned it to be.

Even as my older brothers were failing their classes and disrespecting my parents, I continued to set and achieve my goals while still being a pillar for my family. Even though I didn't have the same opportunities as my peers, I still enrolled and excelled at some of the hardest courses throughout middle school and high school. Even though we have introduced and gave home to two younger boys to our family and have shifted the balance once again, I still managed to maintain an aire of normalcy and maintain my grades. Even with three older siblings who have barely passed high school and one who didn’t finish at all, I am still going to be the first go to college and I do have lofty ambitions which I do plan to accomplish. Even though nobody could probably fathom or understand what I’ve been through, what I’ve seen, what I’ve felt, I am determined to not let that hinder me, and to make a future for myself without

“Going to college was just an excuse to go find me a husband but don’t tell anyone,” Marianna said laughing fixing up her earpiece. Leaving her mom at the train station sobbing, she went off to Tabor College in Kansas. When she entered college all of her emotions hit her at once she felt nervous but, she also felt excited to start a new chapter in her life. Entering college was one of those moments when you have the spotlight on you and you feel everyone is judging you .Luckily she had one of the closest friends you can possibly have, a sister. That’s when her and her sister’s journey began.

How would you feel if someone promised you something, but then changed their mind? If you were told you were safe, but the rug was pulled out from under you? Over a half million teenagers and young adults who illegally immigrated to the United States as minors were recently confronted with this reality. DACA, an act passed during Obama’s term that protected them from deportation, was rescinded by the Trump administration on September 5, 2017. After these people, known as Dreamers, had begun to come out of hiding to legally obtain jobs, attend college, and live without fear of deportation, this rescission suddenly suspended their dreams. Now their future is in the hands of Congress. Although many people would like to eject this group, statistics are in favor of their continuing residence. The Dreamers comprise a diverse and valuable group that deserves to stay in the United States. They are not a threat to the United States, nor a financial burden.

I buried my head into my mother’s shirt. My warm tears dampened her shirt, but I could tell she had no intention of pushing me away. There were other voices around me, but her’s was the only one that I cared to focus on. “You’re a strong and brilliant little boy,” she said to me, “you shouldn’t let this move break you down like this.” I knew she was right, but I was just so furiously confused that I didn’t want to acknowledge it. “How could you know?” I howled, “you’re not the one who’s spending hours alone every day because you’re too terrified to ask anyone if they want to play a game or hang out or even have a conversation!” My sobbing intensified. “No,” she quietly said to me, “but you’re not the only one who left Costa Rica to come here.”

The speech “I Have a Dream” was delivered by Martin Luther King on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on 28th August 1963.

The pressure of my constant progressive thinking, along with family and friends exceptions weighed heavily on my shoulders. What would my family think? What would my friends think? What direction would I take for my career path? What would I think about myself? During the middle of my third college year; I had made the decision that this couldn’t go on any longer and dropped my classes. I worked up the courage and told my sister Amanda. As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt instant relief. Then after a brief pause came her response. “What are your plans now for your future?” She saw for years that I was unhappy and struggling with my career choice. I was happy that she hadn’t become angry; in that moment I knew that Amanda knew me better than myself. In her own way and remembering several discussions that she I had; I felt that she was hinting at my long time desire of becoming a stylist. Everything I do lead be back to

Lesedi was a very smart girl and everyone who knew her knew she would do great things with her life. When it came time for her to graduate and go to college she suddenly had a surprising change of heart. “I don’t think I plan on going to college anymore,” Lesedi said with an abnormal tone. When she discussed it with her family, they were all shocked. Lesedi had never received a bad grade, and she was smarter than everyone in her class. Although everyone would miss her very greatly, they all agreed that college would be the best thing for her to grow and progress successfully. But Lesedi was not thinking of herself, her mother was currently raising five other children by herself, and money was almost always tight for them. Lesedi put her family before her education and showed true integrity.

My mother (as any mother) would begin asking me questions about my plans after high school. “Do you have an idea on what job you are interested in”. "What college are you thinking about "? Before then, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. My mind was as blank as the paper I am writing on. Whenever I was with my dad, he would always tell me to find the job that you will enjoy doing every day. The only thing that came to mind that I could be is a teacher like my mother, a forensic scientist or detective, like the ones I saw on television every day after school. At that moment, I was still unsure on which one I should be, until I woke up finding out on social media that a close friend of mine has passed away and till this day whoever killed him is still out there. Ever since then I knew what I wanted to do, all I can see myself doing later in life: investing in a position in the law

As I walked to my room, I could feel tears stinging my eyes. I felt completely sick. How could they do this to me? I could hear them discussing downstairs about where they would enroll me, so I just put earbuds in, and listened to music.

It’s a hot August day in Washington D.C. A crowd of hundreds of thousands of people are gathered, stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. “I have a dream,” a voice thundered over the crowd. “Tell us about your dream Martin,” a women’s voice replied. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’ (King, I have a dream) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, spoke these now well-known words at a peaceful rally, demanding an end to segregation and discrimination and calling for voting

Have you ever felt like you’re family is counting on you with something valuable? That’s how I feel every morning as I get up to go to school. I have been told by my parents that they want me to become someone with a better future. Having all the pressure that you don’t want to let your family down is tremendous because it gets you to think that if you let your family down you’ll feel like a total failure. I have decided to myself that I’m going to do anything in my power to make my family happy and proud, but at times, there’s obstacles that bring you down and make you forget about your goal.
