 I Have a Dream:

 Jaan (15), Kanepi Gymnasium, Estonia
Different people have different dreams. There are a lot of things you can dream about. Some people dream about little things and some people dream about bigger things. Here is my dream.
I have a dream that one day I will be able to write and read a lot of programming languages. So I would like to get a diploma in computer science. If I have that knowledge I will be able to create lots of software that will help people around the globe.
With the right hardware and software we can do a lot. For example we could overcome the language barrier with other countries or avoid human error in a lot of fields. If I could achieve that I will be able to get a good salary and live a good life. But I can also help millions of people by creating the software they need. I will be happy and I could make a lot of other people happy as well.
So I need to focus and tell myself to try harder and to stop postponing aims because my dream is achievable if I work hard enough. I have already learned a bit of coding and I know a lot about computers so now I just need to push forward.



Hanna (15), Kanepi Gymnasium, Estonia
I have a dream. A really big one actually. It is something that would complete me as a person and also would make me very happy. My dream is hard to accomplish, but that means I should work hard for it.
My dream is to become an artist. I love painting and drawing and art is something I am really passionate about. I consider myself to be a quite creative person and someone who wants to be her own boss. I want to put my thoughts and ideas on canvas to tell everyone how I feel.
I already have some skills and experience, because art is my hobby and has been for quite some time. I do think that I will become much more passionate and will learn a lot if I ever get to be an artist.
I think that doing something you are passionate about as a career will make your life not only easier but also much better. I want to live a happy life, so I would prefer to be someone I dream to be and earn smaller salary rather than do a usual boring job and earn bigger salary.
What do I have to do to become an artist? Well, I have to do my best and try my hardest. Giving up is of no good and I hope I will not do it. I have to train my skills and gain recognition so I could succeed in that field.
If you have a dream, your main priority should be to achieve what you are wishing for. I hope my dream will become real and that I will have a nice successful career as an artist.



Laur  (17), Kanepi Gymnasium, Estonia
Everyone has their own dreams, which they want to achieve. I believe that with enough work every dream can be possible.
The key point, I am considering in a job is happiness and a feeling that I have contributed to a good cause. Although I am trying to find a job, which I like, I understand that with every job there may occur inconvenient and stressful situations.
Another important factor in a job is the salary. There are lots of professions, which offer a big salary, but it also brings a lot of work and responsibility. On the other hand, there may be jobs that are very easy and require little work, but if the salary cannot support me and my family, then this job is not suitable as well.
I have a dream to become an architect. It requires a lot of knowledge, precision, dedication and responsibility. Since I like and am good at mechanical drawing, I think this job would suit me well. To become a successful architect, I definitely have to create innovative and efficient designs.
In conclusion, a job should be chosen, according to the salary and weather one likes a job or not. Luckily I think I have found my dream job and I am going to do all I can to get it.
