I have always been one of those people who had dreams for my life, I used to dream I was a Blue Angel pilot, a professional baseball player, a world famous architect, a renowned public speaker and on and on.
I think each of us should have dreams, especially young people, in fact when they do I find their dreams inspire my own. Last week I attended the last concert of Medina High School’s five different bands, two jazz and three symphonic bands. They are all awesome and always blow me away with their talent.
During this concert all of the seniors in the bands were recognized for their achievement and one of the things each shared was what they were going to focus on in college or a profession, in other words their dreams. Here is a small sample:
- Run my own business
- Get my law degree
- Become a Pediatric Nurse
- Become a Middle School Teacher
- Become a Worship Arts Pastor
- Become a Physical Therapist
- Design and Write a Magazine
- Become a Commercial Pilot
- Become a Band Director
- Become a NY Police Officer
- Pursue a career as a Novelist
- Manage a Hotel in Fiji
- Become a US Congressman
- Work for the FBI or CIA
It is so cool that these great kids have dreams. I have always believed that you move toward what you think about, a dream is a good place to start. Of course these days it is so sad because so many of us have no dream and many kids don’t believe they are even entitled to have one.
My dream is to help others have a dream…
What is yours?
