My Dreams Of My Superpowers

Having a dream and living with passion is very important because I believe living without passion is like being dead. Someone like Tony Hawk could agree. Tony Hawk has been a professional skateboarder for over 24 years. However, he did not receive that title overnight; Tony got his first skateboard when he was only 9 years old. Since then, Tony worked extremely hard and put a lot of his focus on skateboarding. He did it because that was his Dream. Tony’s Dream was frowned upon by many of his teachers and adults alike. One of his teachers even told him that he “would never make it in the workplace if he didn’t follow directions exactly” (Hawk), but he never gave up his Dream. He kept working hard and eventually became a pro at the young age of 15.

If I had made a list of my child hood dreams, I admit, it wouldn’t be very impressive. I never wanted to be a firefighter or a policeman. I never had the urge to be a millionaire, and I never even thought of being a G.I Joe or Army Man. If you could see my list, you would see only two words scribbled down in that chicken scratch hand writing of mine. But only one of those words would follow me out of that first grade class room and stick with me to this present day.

As children we all dream, we dream about toys, monsters, castles, fairy tales and most importantly, we dream about our futures. I have always dreamed about success, but when I was younger I was not sure of what exactly success entailed. As I grew older and continued to grow physically, spiritually, and mentally I was able to discover my true aspirations and goals.

All of these dreams were created in the same place I am today. I have lived in the same place all my life. I have also been at the same school with most of the same people since kindergarten. High school was a huge change and the first time I

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.”

When I was a little girl, I would always dream of being those famous celebrities on television. But I did not grew a desire for that. As I grew more and experience more things in life, I start having a desire of being a pediatrician. I also have a desire to travel the world and live in Atlanta for the rest of my life.

The humankind throughout history has tried to learn and figure out the meaning of dreaming. The interpretations and true meanings of dreams has expanded and has varied over centuries and cultures. Many of the earlier studies were based on culture’s and the interpretation of dreams, but also used as a form of prophecy, inspiration, and guidance. Many people still believe this such, people today beliefs and theories have opened up to a more vast interpretation, they are made up of; dreams are rare brain activity, dreams allow people to reflect on themselves, or that dreams are too massive to be correctly interpret. Although, not a single theory has been proven to this day, science as of why dreams occur is still a mystery.

At a very young age children idealize a comic Marvel superhero who they find as their role model. There is a wide variety of Marvel super heroes to choose from such as Batman, Spider man, Flash, and Superman who are all courageous men fighting to save the people of their community. However, my superhero can’t be found in Marvel comic action books. My superhero and role model is a very special person to me that no famous action figure could come compare to. In fact, she helped me become aware of the major adult responsibilities a person must accomplish when transitioning from childhood to adulthood.

A more childish dream of mine would be becoming a dirtbike racer. The reason for this being that my step-dad raced them at the time, and I thought that it was the best thing ever. I actually got to accomplish this dream when I was younger, which was a huge accomplishment that I’m proud of.

I think that we take a lot of our abilities for granted, but coming to this I learned we should not.”

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” It’s one of the most inspiring quotes by a clever woman, Eleanor Roosevelt. Some people used Eleanor Roosevelt quotes for their lives. I remember someone told me that quote. When I was 10 years old, I’m a very shy person but have many friends, I’m a tall, slim girl with a medium black hair and always wearing an eyeglasses.

Ever since we learned to read as children, we’ve been exposed to stories of superheroes saving the world. As we grow, these stories fill us with a sense of awe that we wish to recreate within ourselves, leading us to behave like these ever-present heroes. They also encourage and exemplify positive behavior among the people. For example, the generation that grew up with Wonder Woman, one of the first female superheroes, has lately been pushing for gender equality. As Scott Allison and George Goethals write in their article, “Most fairytales and children’s stories serve (...) [a] didactic purpose, showing kids the kinds of behaviors that are needed to succeed in life, to better society, and to overcome villainy” (Allison and Goethals, 1). It is essential to expose children to these exemplary role models as they are still developing their own set of ideals and

“Hey, how did you do that?” are words I hear very often from people around me whenever I am able to do my tricks. Just like the fictional super heroes of my childhood, I have my own kind of ‘super power’. I do not shoot webs from my palm like ‘spider-man’, I do not fly like ‘super-man, I do not also possess the lightning speed of ‘The Flash’. These fictional super heroes, unlike me, possess only one kind of ‘power’ but I possess a combination of three ‘super powers’ which could have stop the works of Adolph Hitler and also diffuse the tension between the United States of America and Osama Bin Laden. It might seem that I come

When I was 10years old , the only dream I had, was of becoming a fashion designer.I had everything planned , starting from my daily schedule to the structure of my house , even so that I had decided which of my family members would be allowed to stay with me when I moved to Paris ! As I grew older, I was more and more intrigued by everything and everyone around me. In a nutshell ,

In the novel, Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M Coetzee, the magistrate’s progressive, non-linear dreams are a parallel to his growing involvement with the barbarians and his growing distaste for the empire. The great psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud said, “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious.” In every dream there is a hidden meaning and when the reader starts analyzing the magistrate’s dreams he reveals that he is oddly attracted to the barbarians and knows he should not get involved and it will be a trial to get close to them.
