Personal Narrative: Dreaming Big

Improved Essays
“Dreaming Big” For my entire life, I have always been a dreamer. I fantasized about everything under the sun. Imagining clouds tasting like cotton candy and pet tigers on aureate leashes. I would also dream “realistically” about starring in High School Musical, becoming an international Pop Star like Beyoncé, or having a private limo. Needless to say, I have a lot of hope and imagination (sometimes a bit too much). I’ve always had it, and that is why my strength is my weakness.

By continuing my quiet time with God in the mornings, It will be helpful in staying happy and …show more content…
I love dreams and making goals, but if I want to make these dreams come true, I can 't get so focused on the little details instead of actually doing the work. I can 't be afraid to fail, and I have to give my all in everything I do -like homework- even if I don 't like it. To stay motivated, I can choose to stay positive and keep uplifting quotes everywhere. These steps can help in everything I do, and from there I can conquer every obstacle that crosses me. From there, I can reach my craziest dreams and fantasies. From there, anything is possible in ten days, ten weeks, ten months, and ten

Although some people say that being realistic can get you what you want, dreaming big can get you more than what you expected. For example, when I was in fifth grade at that time my goal was to graduate and go to the Junior High. Even though I wasn’t the smartest in my class.…
