Dreams, people always have them but they usually think that it’s impossible to achieve them or they give up trying. Having dreams is one of the best things in life. You can imagine a future, a way to live, what to do and where to go, and no one can take it away from you. Living without a dream is like sailing without a boat; it isn't worth doing.

Giving up on your dreams is not a solution. In my opinion, we should always try hard to achieve a dream, this way, if people ask us about them; we’ll always be able to say that we tried really hard.

Another thing that I think is worth talking about is the fact that you shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed about your dreams, if they make you happy then other people’s opinions are not important, everything else will just fall away.

When you’re a child you have your own dreams; some girls dream about being princesses, others about being teachers or even vets; on the other hand, boys usually dream about being footballers or basketball players. Most of their dreams are crushed every day by adults saying that they’ll never come true. Who knows, although adults are only trying to help little children realise that dreams are hard to come true and it’s better to face reality as it is, maybe someday they will come true. Let children dream, it won’t harm them.

A very good example of dreams being crushed is when little boys and girls find out the truth about the Three Kings. I still remember when one of the girls in my class told me about it. I ran home and cried on my bed because I couldn’t face the fact of not having the feeling of butterflies in my tummy on the evening of the 5^th of January, not waking up and running to the Christmas tree to see if I had behaved myself during the year and I had got every present I wanted. If I could ask for one wish right now, it would be to become a little girl during the Christmas holidays. This way I could relive all those special innocent moments again.

Life is too short to not do what you want. I think you should be able to choose which paths you take, what you want to do, who you want by your side at all times, good ones and bad ones, and most importantly, don’t let other people’s opinions get to you. Live life to its fullest because; let’s face it, life is too short and precious to waste it.
