To dream is to achieve

Have you ever dreamed about anything? Something you've really been passionate about? Have you dreamed of winning the lottery, or driving that really nice car, or marrying the most beautiful girl or the most handsome guy in the world? Well then you my friends are just like me.

My entire life I've been a dreamer. Maybe I haven't dreamed about those things mentioned above per se but I've always spent my days dreaming. I started dreaming when I was just a little toddler. At the age of two I got my first ever soccer ball given to me as a gift by my parents. That's where my days as a dreamer began.

Since I was five years old I've always dreamt of being a soccer player. I always used to go outside in the backyard and with my best friend we used to play and commentate as if we were taking the last penalty shot of the World Cup. With three simple steps and a kick of the ball I had won the World Cup and took my shirt off and swung it around in the air in celebration. God times were simple then. Looking at my life now I've realized something that puts a smile on my face. I am still that same little boy because nothing has changed. I am still a dreamer.

While between then and now I've dreamt a million different dreams, the one thing in my life that has never stopped or changed is my ability to dream. I was once told by somebody that you are never too old to dream and that message has gotten me to where I am today.

I truly believe that in order to achieve extraordinary things, people must dream extraordinary things. Take for example Martin Luther King. He dreamed for freedom and equality for blacks in a time that nobody dared. Take for example Michael Jordan. He dreamed of becoming the best basketball player to ever live. Take for example Barack Obama. He I'm sure dreamt of being the first black president of the United States of America. These people all went on to achieve extraordinary things but before they could do such a thing, they took the time to dream the unimaginable.

So as I begin my quest to become a public relations professional, I dream of making a difference in the field, I dream of having the platform to do good in this world and most importantly, I dream of truly becoming a successful communications professional. So ladies and gentlemen, you can consider this my coming out party because rest assured like the many greats who have dreamt before me and the many greats who will dream after me, I plan on achieving extraordinary things.
