This quote says a lot, to be honest. But it is wrong in ways. The future belongs to everyone- but the brightness of that future depends on how much you believe in yourself, and your dreams. All the way through our childhood years, starting when we're maybe 6 or 7- adults ask us what our dreams are, and what we want to be when we grow up. At age 14, I can safely say my dreams have changed so much over the course of the past 8 years, and they may continue to- but I am happy with my current dreams.
Now, before I go and list off my own dreams... I'd just like to say that at my age, I find it sad that some of my friends are so undecided and depressing when it comes to the future. Upon asking three of my friends what they wanted to be when they grew up: One responded "I don't know" One responded "I don't care" And one replied with "I've given up on dreams". I've. Given. Up. On. Dreams. AT FIFTEEN?! WHAT!?! This one statement drives me nuts. I hate it. I hate the fact that someone so close to my age is already giving up. Having dreams is nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing stupid about it. Dreams hold wants, needs and desires and to be honest, I think a person's dreams (or lack thereof) says a lot about who they are as a person. I personally want to become either a therapist of some sort or a writer when I grow up, and if I am to go to college I want to major in psychology. If anything, I just want to be happy with myself and as peaceful as can be when I grow up. I want to still be a dreamer, with goals and ambition. I never want to become someone who can no longer find beauty in the little things... because no matter where I've been in life, I have always had a dream, always a goal, and I've always been able to find beauty in a sunset or even a rainstorm. Chase you dreams now, because life waits for no one. -- Maddie
