Personal

Everybody has dreams and without them, life would be pointless. Nothing would be taking place in this world if it was not dreamt first. I think that we sometimes do not realize the power of our dreams. Martin Luther King had a dream that all men were created equal. Although it seemed far-fetched at the time, the impact his dream has made on our country is inexpressible. It seems unfathomable that the four simple words “I have a dream” could not only make such a huge impression on our country but forever change the way in which society copes with achieving our own personal dreams.

Personally, the quote "I have a dream" reflects my life greatly. All my life, I have always had the same dream, which is to become a teacher. In my opinion, being able to impact people and help people is very rewarding. My dream now and as I get older is to be able to know that I have helped at least one person a day. To me, that is the most rewarding experience. Teaching is a life-long profession in which learning never ends. Another one of my personal dreams is to take in as much knowledge and wisdom as I possibly can.

One of the most influential people in my life was my Aunt JoAnn, who was a fifth grade teacher. Although she died at a very early age, I saw how many lives she touched in her 32 years on earth. It is one of my dreams to be able to make half the impact she did on her students. The odds did not just fall into Mr. King's favor. Everybody possesses the ability to make dreams come true if we put our mind to it. If we can dream it, we can live it.
