Hello, students! Today we’re going to write an article. The topic will be “What would I like to be in the future?” If you have ever studied in a school, you must have ever composed this kind of article. Should I be a teacher? Should I be an animal doctor? Should I be a super model or movie star? Should I be the president of Taiwan? It’s a common topic but it always takes me at least thirty minutes to think about what I will be. Sometimes I even wrote I want to be a general so that I could help our government to unify our country and save China people from the abyss of suffering! It sounds stupid but it’s easier to organize without thinking.

But what really is me dream? Uh, let me recall my memories.
When I was in elementary school, I liked to read books about outer space. There are so many beautiful pictures of stars, comets, Galaxy and stories about constellations in those books. I always imagined that one day I could drive a shuttle and become the first one arriving at the edge of the Universe although they says the universe is limitless. I also wanted to see what happens in the black hole. One day when I land on a star named Amanda, I don’t care to say like Armstrong, “That’s one small step for a woman, one giant leap for mankind.” That sounds so cool!
Yes! I have a dream to be an astronaut!(show picture) But I have the tendency of acrophobia. It’s too high for me to go to outer space. And it’s a hard job! Can I make it?
So I’m not an astronaut now!

When I was in junior high school, my teacher of science taught us science in an active way. He gave us the knowledge in textbooks and in our daily lives as well. Because of him, I knew a tissue can fall as fast as a book! I knew I the reason of why we can wash the kettle by lemon juice or vinegar. There are so much fun in the territory of science! So I hoped one day I could discover some principle or reaction benefit to human being named “Amanda principle” or “Amanda reaction”. At that moment I will say, “If I have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of my teacher.”
Yes, I have a dream to be a scientist, like this! Uh…more hair will be better.
So I chose to study chemistry. But I didn’t study chemistry with my passion as before. So I’m an engineer now but once again I’m not a scientist!

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.
This is one part of the famous speech delivering by Dr. Martin Luther King. He had a dream that every race of people can have equal status and he devoted to his dream in whole life. With his efforts, the situation of racial discrimination is improved.

I have dreams to be an astronaut and a scientist. I hope I can have some contributions to this world. However, without carrying out by actual actions, a dream will be just a daydream. I have a new dream to be a stand-up comic! So I join the toastmaster club without thinking because I say to myself, “this time let the dream comes true”. I organize stories about my best partner, Banana. I rack my brain for the way delivering my speech. It’s pretty hard but I enjoy them because I’m fulfilling my dream.
What is your dream? Please go straightforward with your passion and keep going on. Fulfill your dreams!
