Dreams

     In Of Mice and Men George and Lennie had a specific dream.  George and Lennie wanted a piece of land and animals to take care of.  They want all sorts of animals that they can take care of and sell.  They want to be able to get crops for themselves.  Lennie really wants to be able to take care of rabbits.  Back in the time the story is based in, that dream wasn't realistic.  Now, that dream is a little more realistic.  It cost a lot of money to own land back then and it was a lot harder to make that money.  It's very important to have dreams.  Without dreams you can't hope and strive for something.  Without dreams you don't know who you are and who you want to be.  When people start doubting your dreams, you start doubting your dreams too.  If people are always negative then you become negative, that's why some people give up on their dreams.  Some people dream so hard that no matter what anyone says they still believe, but it's extremely hard to be the only one who believes in yourself.  If dreams go unfulfilled for a long time people start to give up on these dreams.  They start to forget about the dreams and they take the next best thing.  They do something that has to do with their dream or they pick something that will help them get by in life.  I believe that if you have a dream that is nearly impossible you have to try.  Being a famous singer or being president is your dream you have to at least try because if you don't your life will be filled with questions.  Your dreams are always possible, you just have to want it more then anything.  I, myself almost gave up on my dreams of being a singer and actress.  My parents never believed in my dreams and I almost gave up.  What kept me going for my dream was that singing and acting are what I do best.  I feel confident and special when I do those two things.  I love feeling confident and special.  I kept going because of how much I love that feeling.  I'm already planning a trip to California with one of my best friends in a year and a half from now.  Never let your dreams go, and never settle for second best.  You have one life and I believe you should live it.
