Dreams
What is the first thing you think of when you see this word? Dreams… For me I think about passing that Zelda game or getting that unusual hat or something like that. A much stronger dream, however was getting that perfect career.
Doctor Story Lets talk about a dream that everyone can actually relate to.
-I wasn’t passionate enough to study so much for it.
You see, this all changed when I moved from the USA to Peru, but let’s talk a little about how I felt with the move, yea lets go on a trip back in time.
Let’s be honest here, I’ve never been the most outgoing person and I’m pretty shy. I became even more shy when I moved out of the country for the first time. I had it difficult. Oral presentations weren’t my thing, and I’d always get nervous and sweat…probably like right now.
I struggled a bit with education and I had to come to a decision on what my definite career would be and even what colleges I would go to…all on one sheet of paper. I found it difficult with my Doctor dream destroyed. What am I gonna do in the future?
Then I discovered the Innovation Academy (IA) This program gave you more freedom to pursue passions and explore new ones. I didn’t want to write tons of essays in the IB and I knew I wouldn’t like it.
What things have changed me?
-Break the shyness and I started to express more ideas to all my peers -Seeking for solutions, ideas, and passions. (Doctor) -My head is a litte more clear now -Ive learned a little more about myself
What I’m trying to get at here is that I’ve learned so much about myself. Before I had no clue who I was and what I wanted to do. My solution was to explore and get out of my comfort zone and I discovered who I was in the IA with experience. Not that I know myself more, I know that there is so many dreams/passions yet to explore.
If any of you in this auditorium have ever had a dream of any kind….like beating a game…becoming the next big music producer…or even becoming a doctor…and all of a sudden the dream wasn’t all you thought it to be….
Thank you..
