My dream
My future dreams. Everyone has dreams. Weather they be to become a scientist and discover new and amazing things, or become a star basketball player and be the highest paid player in the league, people dream about their future. I have dreams for the future just like everyone else. Dreams of the good life, with lots of money, hot girls, and fast cars! And I will do whatever it takes to achieve it. College is my first step to achieve my dream. Currently I am a student in high school. I do my best to keep my grades up, because I know that they will help me into college. I dream of going to UCSD to get a bachelors degree in biology, then coming back to
Stockton to attend UOP and getting a Doctorates degree in Pharmacy. By the time I get this degree, I will be around 28, so I hope that it will all be worth it. After I have a doctorate, I plan to get a job working for a company under their research division. I hope I can lend a hand in finding new, more effective ways of administering drugs to patients. Or I could possibly design self­administration drugs for those at home type of people. Or perhaps I could improve packaging designs for the medication. The possibilities are endless! Outside of my job, I plan to buy a large home. I dream of settling down in an urban area, someplace that’s not too big. As you can see, I have big plans for my future. I plan to make something of myself, and not to give up. I have a major fear of failure, and I won’t let it get to me. My parents expect a lot out of me, and I think I have done a good job so far. My dreams are what keep me going; they are an object

for me to strive for. I will obtain that object one day. With all of my knowledge and values learned, I would like to share these to my fellows especially to those youths, in the future, by serving them with unconditional, whole­hearted and without any ambiguity or doubts. This really shows our compassion and charity.
