The Beauty of Dreams

 The Beauty of Dreams

 Roosevelt once said "The Future Belongs to those who Believe in the beauty of their dreams." This is one quote I live by. Growing up, I have always considered myself a dreamer rather that a realist. Many people would define a dream as something different. I would define it as reaching beyond the walls of perception for something you are very passionate about. I, however am in very enraged in singing, or music in general. As an eight year old, I would often enjoy listening to the music that children of that age would listen to. One singer, that appealed to me back then was Hannah Montana(Miley Cyrus).I looked at Miley as an idol back then, as I grew an obsession to her music, while singing it everywhere I went. As I went on singing her melodious tunes, I realized that I actually had some sort of talent in that field. At that point, it didn't matter to me how good I was. I just loved it so much, that it was all I ever used to do. Everyday, I used to lock myself in my bedroom and sing my heart out, regardless of what I was singing. Up to this point, singing has gotten me through so much, and it has brought be so many places. I am beyond grateful to what it has done to me as a person. It taught me the value of dreams.

 Well back then, I had a huge dream of becoming a disney channel star. A lot has changed since then. That dream changed several times, but all rooted from the same concept. And that would be to share my love of music to the world.It has eventually led up to what it is today. About three years, I started watching the popular reality television show, American Idol. Last year, one particular contestant stepped out of that show who greatly inspired me. Her name is Lauren Alaina. Watching her on the show had made me love Idol even more. She has inspired me to audition for the show next year, as I turn 16. I have always dreamed of performing infront of millions of people, but the idol stage is one place where I would love to stand on one day. Someday, I hope all my tears and hard work will pay off and will achieve this dream someday. But if it does not happen, I will still continue to believe in myself. After all, it's what I love more than anything in the entire world, and I will continue doing it as long as I live. But anyways, the whole point I'm trying to make here by telling you this story, is to reach for your dreams and always have faith in yourself. Throughout this experience, an uncountable number of people have told me that I am not going to be able to do it, simply because it's too big of a dream. But you know what? If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough. And these are the type of people who need to see the world from a different perspective, and realize it's ok to step away from reality sometimes. But anyways, just keep on living, and dream big. it'll get you places.
