Dreams

To dream anything that you want to dream. That’s the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed. Bernard Edmonds

I should be sleeping right now, but I am just so excited with what God’s doing and what He gave for us.  I was laying in bed, trying to sleep, but all I could do was remember my dreams and future plans and struggles and praise God’s eternal grace and love and mercy to humans. Basically it all started from my counseling class, we were talking about dreams. I could simply jump to a conclusion “no pain no gain”. It leaves me broken. It brings me to tears and motivates me to action. It instills in me a passion to pursue my dreams, a passion that is overwhelming.

Have you ever had a dream until you got shaken up? Things that you really want so bad? Things that you’ve always dreamed about? Dreams are golden. Dreams are free. I can’t imagine if humans stop having dreams. Everything begins with a dream.

Recently, I was asked about my future plans and dreams. I could simply say that I want to be an environmental scientist. I could see that they respected my dreams but I do believe that somewhere inside they might make fun of it. I remember having school enrollment test in a well-known Elementary School in my town, they failed me cause they thought I had some down syndrome and above average IQ. I would likely to admit that I maybe a slow person. I was not born brilliant, I’m a slow learner but I’m willing to learn, to study, to strive. I’ve been living with a shadow overhead, it was like nothing even mattered but crap. I was not sure what I wanted to become, yet I’m not sure what I want to become but whatever it is, I want to do everything that I love. I think  in everything we do, we must put our heart on it so our work would result into positive one. Not that just we do things for money but also for passion. When you’re doing what you love to do, the money comes naturally, I guess.

Maybe you thought that you’re not one of those people who are bound to be rich and great. Maybe you think you have done everything you could and still can’t see any noticeable changes in your life, but instead, life is getting harder and harder everyday. God gave us 5 billion brain cells but we only use like 5 percent of it. I was literally shaking and, you wouldn’t imagine how excited i was. I had to share everything so I decided to write on my blog. It motivates me to pursue my dreams. Pursuing dream is a part of life mission.

If you have a dream, go get it. Success demands discipline and commitment. There is also cost and risks. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled.

I thank God for each and every one of you and that I go to Alfa Centauri High School. I love seeing the students and teachers at my school passionate about something. We’re sharing the same struggles. I’m so blessed to have great teachers and great friends. Even though my school gives me a ton of never-ending homework and exercises and crazy regulations which I think sometimes they are not rational, yet I still complain a lot about it. Apart from that, I’m glad that my school is crazy. By crazy here, I mean giving students a lot of homework and very difficult tests and a lot of math and science classes more than 30 hours a week. I know that I will be thankful someday for it. When I come back to Alfa Centauri in 5 or 10 years, I can see how strong the foundation they have built, not only just in formal education but also life in general. They have always challenged us to live a life that matters. To be a light in the darkness.

I just was so excited about all of this. Hard to imagine, I know, but I’m entirely excited to continue struggling together with you guys and bonding and sharing my struggles. I think now I can go to sleep…maybe. I love all of you guys. I love my school. I love God. And I hope you are affected by this.
