Dreams.

Hello, guys. How do you do lately? It's me again! I hope you won't be bored because of me xD
Ah, I'm gonna write some of my thoughts today. It's about faith--just like what the title means.

Do you guys ever had a dream? Well, I'm sure everyone have it. But do you guys have a dream that you really want to be true? to be reality? To be honest, yes, I do have dreams that I really want to achieve.

When I was little kid, my mom asked me, "What do you want to be in the future?" As a little kid who has many friends, I answered my mom's question just like my friends usually did, "I want to be a doctor."
Pfft~ sometimes I really want to laugh when I remembered that conversation. Remembering that I'm so sucks at math and science, how could I say something like that? xD

As the time goes by, when I was in the elementary school, on the 4th grade. When I was on the 4th grade, it was my first time to have the English lesson. I can clearly remember how excited I was when I recieved that lesson.

My mom and my dad are really good on English. My mom taught me English since I was in the kindergarten. And I do remember what my mom said when I was little, "If you want to be a great and cool person, learn English," And from that day, I began to learn and learn more about this International language.

Okay, now back when I was in the 4th grade.
When I was a 4th grader, my parents bought me a pocket dictionary, and asked me to read that dictionary everyday. I just said yes because I was on fire to learn this language.

And you know what suprised me? Yesterday I went to the bookstore and found that pocket dictionary is for the intermediete level. Wow. I never thought that they were serious to let me drown to English.

And since that day, English is my favorite subject--ever. I've joined so many English competition since I was in the elementary school until I graduated from the high school; even I never won anything. But that doesn't matter. I enjoyed to do it. My teacher on the junior high school has said a thing for me (he's my favorite English teacher ever), "Even though you know that you have talent on English, don't be arrogant. There are lots of people who is better than you. But you have to know that don't give up on things that you like. Keep it up." That words will always be my guide in the life. Ever.

And then, when I was in the final grade of the high school, my mom asked me the same question, "What do you want to be in the future?" My answer was different. I needed some times to answer it. Not a minute, or not an hour either. It needed a few days to answer that simple question. I even asked my dad, of what should I do in the future--or to be precise--what is the suitable job for me.

My dad did see what has been my interest since I was little. My dad knew that I read a lot and my dad knew that I also love to write (p.s: my dad is the one who introduced me to blog, too, anyway). And my dad said, "How about to be a novelist?"

What? He asked me to be a novelist? A writer? I remembered how suprised I was when my dad said that. And you know what? My mom heard that too. My mom didn't say "yes" about my dad's option. She said that becoming a novelist doesn't suit me, and not too good to be my job. And my mom gave me a few more times to think about it, because future is important.

I couldn't sleep at that day. I thought a lot. What do I really want to be? I thought about my dad's opinion, of saying that I love to read and write--in English and Indonesian, it's absolutely clear that my life won't be far from language and literature.

Think, Dea! Think! It's about your future! Decide it from now on!

BAM! I fell asleep.

. . . . .

When I woke up, I finally found what is my biggest dream. I finally realize that I have a big passion on writing, and I have a big passion of traveling and explore the world--the outside! I want to be out of the box! I don't want to just stay here and do the same thing over and over again! Isn't it such a waste that I've learned English for the half of my life and just sitting here in my country? English is the international language, so I have to go international!



I want to be a reporter.

. . . . .

I told my parents that my dream is to be a reporter. I want to explore the world, and I want the world knows what I write. I want to give them education and information. That's it. I want to be a part of pers.

And that's why my parents let me in to my college now. I will learn about journalism there, and I will try my best to get scholarship when I'm in the university. You know, my parents don't have enough money to send me abroad, so that's why. I want to be better, I want to reach my dream, so it depends on how big my efforts on it. I've read so many successful people on this planet. They can break the limits to get their dreams. If they can do that, why can't I? 

Ah, maybe for now, it's just an absurd post. But I believe--I have faith on my dreams--that I will achieve it one day. I have to be success to make my parents proud of me. I have to struggle more and more to reach it! I will... I will be a great reporter. I will!

. . . . .

So for you, guys, don't give up on your dreams. It might be silly, but you know what, God is listening. God is watching us. Believe that if we keep fighting for what we really want, God will give you the way. I'm sure that God is also listening and knowing my dreams. That's what makes me believing, studying and working harder. 

Well, struggling is hard, indeed. You might be fail on your way. But remember what Thomas A. Edison said:

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” -- Thomas Alva Edison

So, that's it. Don't give up on your dreams! Keep fighting! ^^
