I have had specific dreams as many people have. However; my dreams
have been changing because of frustration and a whim. I felt strong
disappointed whenever I abandoned any dream. Now, I am introducing
the transition of my dreams and their reasons.
In my childhood, my first dream was to be a professional baseball
player, because I thought they were cool, could make lots of
money, and could have good reputation. It might be natural that
I aspired to be a professional baseball player as many children
do so. I did my best in my elementary school, junior high school,
and high school to achieve this dream. However, I realize the
limitation of my ability of baseball, and I gave up to be a
professional baseball player. After the activity of the baseball
club in the high school, I was loosing my dream for a while.
However, I met the next dream by accident after then.
When I visited my friend house, I was very impressed by the beauty
of the house. Soon, I knew his father was architect. His father
saw me around the inside of the house and his atelier. As I felt
strongly that I wanted to design this kind of house, I promised his
farther that I would be an architect. After then, I studied hard
to be an architect, and thanks to this efforts, I was accepted by
four universities. However, I couldn't decide the best one. I was
given some advice to make a choice, and I concluded that I
chose one university, but the university didn't have the department
of architecture. I thought of the fame of the university as more
important than my dream to be an architect. To say the truth, the
biggest reason was the university was very popular to girls. This
is how my dream to be an architect ended up too much soon.
Just after I entered the university, I decided to be a scientist.
Nevertheless, I also gave up this dream very quickly because it
was very difficult to understand physics completely. I spent
almost all the time in the university without any dream, but
I would have unmet experience that made me decide my next
dream for my future. That was Whistler. When I visited Whistler
in Canada for the first time, I was so impressed that I strongly
hoped to have my house and live in Whistler. I also thought
how I could accomplish this, and I concluded that I had to be
enough rich to buy a house there. Moreover, I thought if I
lived in Whistler I would have to speak English. That is why,
I thought a MBA of a famous university in Canada would be
useful to attain this dream.
And now, I am studying business at BCIT for the first step to
be promoted to a business school in Canada. Although I will have
lots of hardship in the proceed of attaining this dream, I think
every hardship will be my good experience and fortune. Finally,
when I attain this dream, I will praise myself because most people
can not attain their own dream.
