My Dream

Activity #12 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

 

A dream is something that you achieve. Once you do, it makes you feel important, successful and good. Dreams are something that you work hard for and not something you can just get right away. You have to earn it.

I have a dream. Or at least, I think I had one. When I was young, I had a lot of dreams. One of them was being the first boy to travel in space. But then I lost interest in that. After that, I lost sight of my dream. Up until now, I still don’t know where I want to go with life. They say that we just go to school to prepare us for what’s waiting for us outside. Outside, our dream is there; waiting for us to achieve it. Now, I just go through school, not caring for my dream. I don’t even think I have anything I can dream about when I’m finished with school. But recently, I’ve been doing a hobby that could be a dream one day. Most people dream of becoming famous or rich in some way. Me? I dream for something else.

I started to make comics back then. They were just simple stick figures, but with personality that of other people. I made them just for fun. So I made a website (mini-website) where I could post them and everyone could see. At first, it didn’t get that much attention. But it started to get more and more attention and soon, a bigger audience appeared and wanted more. Of course, I stopped because for personal reasons. So becoming a webcomic artist wasn’t a dream for me.

So I began doing a new hobby. Writing. At first, I just wrote a story and uploaded it to get some feedback. But it didn’t just get feedback, it got attention. And I got more and more as each new chapter I made. This could be a dream that I could strive for. But then, I began to lose interest in it too. My stories were just another way to mirror my life in the form of words. And lately, life isn’t as much interesting as it was back then.

So here is my last hobby. Animating. I just began doing it last year. The internet taught me how. I finished my first animation of a stick figure dancing. It was nice, I guess. I wanted to do more, but I didn’t have the time to do it. Maybe, when I’m older, or in the summer, I could find the time into making more than just a simple animation.

We all have our dreams, and I just shared the three possible ones that I could have. But I realized, the world is full of possibilities and dreams that I could achieve. For now, this is all I could tell. But what about you? What’s your dream?
