Dr. Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream

I never imagined myself reading a speech. A speech that with great aspiration and anticipation has been recognized for its hopes and dreams. I read “I have a Dream” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and it has inspired me for change in my life. I have been on this earth for 18 years and never considered what I dream to make a difference in my life. Life to me has always been about letting things be and just trying to make the right choices. If things didn’t go right, it was always about things happening for a reason. I have been inspired to want and make change.
I also have a dream…
A year and a half ago, I met a new face that I never have seen before. He became my symbol of love. A joyous moment to be marked as a day that I will forever hold
in my heart. My son was born and things had changed. A year and a half later, I have determined how I can make change for my son. A year and a half later, the way of life for my son is up to me. A year and a half later, a sense of mind has come to me to teach my son the way that I see him living happily as he gets older. It is obvious that I cannot force him into doing things, but knowing what the better options are. I want my son to have the opportunities that I was given. To succeed in life, to have choices of bettering his days. I’m here today dramatizing my wants for my son. To graduate from high school with honors like his mother
