My dream
Hello, ladies and gentlemen! It’s my honorto speak to you here. Today, I’d like to talk about my dream.
Do you have a dream? If you ask me, myanswer is “Yes!”
I have a lot of dream. When I was a littlegirl, I wanted to be a princess who dresses up with beautiful dresses every day.When I was in the primary school, I liked painting. So I wanted to be apainter.
But today in here, I want to talk about thedream that I had in the middle school. When I was in the middle school, Iwanted to pass the artist exam and enter a good high school.
When I was a 8th grade student,I decided to major in art.
Obviously, that was a bold choice and Isuffered from negative words from other people. They thought it was bullshitbecause no one would test for art during the senior entrance exam.
But that was my choice and I had to beresponsible for my choice. I didn’t know how other people viewed me because Ididn’t care that. Achieving my dream was my only concern at that time.
On the summer vacation of Grade 8, Istarted to learn painting. But in the second term of my 9th grade year,I could not learn it anymore. Why? It was because my mother didn’t allow me totouch the pencil or draw a picture. In fact, my grade was not that good enough.So my mother was angry at me and didn’t allow me to draw.
However, I couldn’t kill my passion towardsmy dream. The sprout of my dream had already germinated in my heart.
Then, I secretly drew and painted behind mymother’s back. At that time, the senior entrance exam came closer. I only hadtwo months left. Usually, I took my canvas with me all the time. Afterfinishing lunch, I didn’t take the nap and went to the art classroom forpractice from 1 pm to 2:30 pm.
At the noon of the second day, I took mydrawing to the dining room. My art teacher waited for me in that room andtaught me how to draw. I was waiting for her to come for one minute, twominutes, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes …. And shenever came. I didn’t know whether she will come or not, but I only knew thatwaiting for her was my only way to progress. During that period of time, I wasconfused. I threw the pencil, painted a picture, and tore that picture. I wasconfused. I was scared. I was in pain! But I never thought of giving up becauseit was my dream.
Thus, I continued the same process fordays. Finally, my artistic talent was revealed to the public because I passedthe artist exam with a high score and was able to enter one of the top highschool as a specialty student.
This was my dream that came true. Thank you for listening!
