When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a doctor. That time, everyone wanted to be one. I had so many dreams and wishes in my mind and I was really thinking on how to make these things come true. As a little kid, I still had no idea on how to deal with things and face the real world. Now that I’m eighteen years old, I know what I want to achieve in life and strive to do my best in aiming for the stars.
Susan Boyle was simply one of those people who inspired and gave me the eye opener not to give up on achieving my goals. She joined the game show “Brittain’s got talent” and at first, people judged her for the way she looks, she dresses and even the way she acts. Who would expect that an old woman from the countryside could have such beautiful and heart pounding voice? She even told the people she wanted to become just like her idol. She had dreams of becoming famous as a singer and she really hoped to be one. The audience and almost every person in the world hated her. They even wondered why she had the guts to join the contest and showed everyone her true identity. After all, she was only an ambitious person that made people had a good laugh. But you know what? It’s not how you look, you dress and how you act. It’s simply touching the lives of other people and reaching out to inspire them to follow their dreams. In the middle of Susan’s fantastic song number, people were already standing in applause. The judges and the audiences couldn’t believe what they heard and what an old woman from the countryside, looking not so modernized could possibly do. She got three straight powerful yes and she made it to the next level.
Now, this is what I’m talking about. People will continue to judge you each and every day of your life. Everyone can be a critic to every person on earth. You can’t even avoid people talking behind your back and people who will secretly hate you for who you are. But despite all of these, you know what’s on my mind? No matter how high, how hard and no matter how people look at you as a tiny person looking like a loser in achieving your dreams, these things should not hinder from aiming high. Even if you’re just someone who’s simple but has the heart, even if you’re just ugly but you have a pleasing personality, even if you don’t have a bunch of friends but you have true friends behind your back and even if you’re not that strong physically but you have the mind-set of thinking positive in achieving your goal, I’m pretty sure that in no time, you have your most precious dream in your hands. You shouldn’t let the negative vibes bring you down and I guess you just have to be strong for yourself. People will bring you down but for me, it really depends on how you face challenges. Susan had the best time of her life – people laughed, humiliated her the whole time but after the number, she had seen amazed faces of the audiences and told her she really had a good job.
I can say that everyone can take small steps to achieve and reach bigger goals in life. I mean, we all have our dreams and we all have the chance grab it in our hands. So why think twice? Think positive. You have people to support you in whatever you decide to do. And even if they’re not around, just believe in yourself. You have God given talents and you’re no loser at all. You have to set your goal first and strive to make them to a reality. Obstacles will come into your way but these things will just test you on how you deal with them. Dream big, aim harder. Just like a teenager out there, I have dreams too. And now, I’m working really hard to make them come true.
