Dreams

This was another week of heavy reflection on my past and what I hope and dream of my future.  I didn't know consciously that I had a dream until today.  I never was one of those types of kids that always knew and never doubted what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I was socially awkward and liked to ponder to myself a lot.  Before I was eight, I was a difficult child who always was thinking about myself and what I wanted.  There was an event that changed all of that, and caused me to have a dream that I have been unconsciously holding with me all of these years.  After making an unexpected trip to the hospital, I sat there reflecting in my temporary wheelchair.  I didn't want to live a full life, leave it and not be missed.  I wanted to be Christ like.  I wanted to learn to put others before myself.  My dream in life was to learn to be good.  This awakening in me has been a turning point in my life.  Even now, my dream is to become a benevolent leader.  I want to inspire people to be the best they can be, more than just in the work force, but also as fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters.  I want people to know the sweetness that comes from living an honorable life.  I want for that knowledge to work in them until they too dream of a better world.  Change starts with one, and my dream is to be that one.
