When I was smaller, I wanted to create fairy tales like the ones I loved and cherished. I wanted to create novels that became a part of the reader. This is a dream that I have always had.
In order to achieve this dream, I read continuously. Once I finished a novel, I picked up the next. After that was finished, I began the next. If the book was not up to par, I put it down and read the next book. There was not an end. However, it is not that I read because I dreamed, but I dreamed because I read.
All over the world you can hear parents, teachers and students nag kids about doing what they love the most. Of course, if it is a respectable activity, you don’t receive nearly as much relentlessness.
To this day, I still believe that in order to be a good author, one must read. Which is now something I apply to all careers. In order to be a good film director, one must watch films.
This also leads many people to believe that in order to accomplish their goals, they must prioritize their time accordingly. This idea includes school and all other morally excepted front of the lists.
Yet, with all the writing I’ve been doing in my spare time, I am realizing more and more exactly how much I need to further my education.
In order to know the words I wish to say, I have to learn them. I have to learn the way my words should be presented and what order to present them in — which has increased my determination to enter college education, as I know I will be unable to do so as I am now.
