You never too old to set another goal or a dream a new dream- C. S. Lewis
It was gym and I was standing alone when I overheard some people talking. I glance at them and saw pictures and writings in a book. The pictures are beautiful and the script writing...I bet it is better than mine. The owner of the book was a girl, showing her works to her friends. She is not boasting apparently. I think she was working on it when someone said, "Hey, look at that!"
With an awe, someone ask her, "What you are going to be when you grow up?"
I really should have kept my mouth shut, but I am stupid and childish. I shouted enthusiastically, "A journalist!"
Then, the girl look at me weirdly. Suddenly, I realized my stupid action and tried to hid my face. I am so stupid. But, I saw the girl's eye flicker and she smile. She raised her fist and I know instantly. I fist bum her.
"Yes, I want to be a journalist, but my father want me to be something else," she said. I detect the sadness in her voice.
Well, it may look imaginative but no, this really happen at my school. I felt so sad for her, you know. She had a broken dream. A dream that could never be achieved because of her father. She has the right to be what she want to be.
Apparently, Malaysia doesn't have a lot of choices, you see. The schools are built to make students become millionaires, businessmen, doctors, and you know, those people who get big bucks and great reputation. The schools here doesn't built for creative minds and for students who wants to be what they wanted to be or want to do.
I'm broken heart, you see. I see too many sad faces here. I see too many broken dreamers, too many forceful dreams, too many give up people. I cannot stand it. I wish they could see light and see how they can achieved their dreams. Their real dreams, not parent's dreams.
Here's a youtube video for you guys to hear. He is my favorite!
US people, be thankful of your education. Some people here doesn't get education at all.
Peace out,
Wish Well Wisher.
