Do dreams come true?

@jvicentevalera I wish you can get your dreams come true Jose.

Oh @Courage7 it'd be a great idea, let's see if I can make it happen. In the meantime I still work for my dreams. Doesn't matter what we end up doing as adults, at the end of the day being happy is all that matters!

@Courage7 Thank you. hugs

@jvicentevalera My times were different and when it was time to go to college it was the 1968, you surely know about the students revolts of those times. My parents knew that the University of Architecture was the most dangerous in those times and they fared for my safety. Anyway, as the parents pay I think they still have the right to discuss this matter with their children.

@LadyDuck Why were your parents against you following your dreams? I don't know what happens to parents who believe that what they choose for their children is the best choice, when it is up to them to decide what to study, right? Same happened to my best friend, he wanted to study lyrical singing but his mom was against his choice, however he did not give a damn and pursued his dream. His mom still pissed off LOL

@LadyDuck Now I got you Anna, if they put their money on it, it was almost difficult for you to express yourself when it comes to studying what you really wanted to.

@jvicentevalera I wanted to be a nurse. God started steering me in the direction of being an author at the age of 8.

@just4him Oh I never imagined that. I am sure you would have been a kind and great nurse. But look at you, you became a successful writer and author. Congrats on that!

@just4him Really? In fact I thought that you wanted to be a writer of successful books as you are now Valerie. May I know what you wished to become as adult when you were younger?

Thank you so much Manuela. I would love to, one day. I hope one of your dreams at least had come true.

@jvicentevalera somethings could be better but I think I will achieve some one day.

@nela13 that is the right attitude. God's timing is perfect, they say.

Aww Courtney thank you so much for such great comment. In fact I haven't given up on the idea of becoming an actor one day, I am still young, I'm 26 turning 27 this year. Let's see what happens. It might be amusing to play a role. It doesn't matter whether a soap opera, movie or theater actor. We'll see. By the way are you currently doing what you said you'd be doing now at this age?

@jvicentevalera That is good that you haven't given up! And it can definitely still happen for you :) Sounds great to be in any of those options! Well, I used to want to be a singer or dancer when I grew up....and I am neither. lol

@MommyOfEli2013 Thank you Courtney. I think you can sing but you're ashamed of doing it lol, on the other hand, you can also become a dancer, you can dance at home when you're alone that might count as practicing!

@jvicentevalera I wanted to become a teacher, and then I wanted to make a career, more money ... None of this. I am not happy.

@Nevena83 I totally feel you Nevena, it's happened sort of the same to me. I ended up studying management and accounting, and not doubt what I am supposed to do with something I didn't like studying but I did cause it was the opportunity I had at the moment to study.

I am so sorry to hear that. What was your dream about? Overall what really matters is that you're happy!

Thank tou very much! and also thank you for dropping by!

@jvicentevalera Yeah I am keeping myself patient because this is not my dream job.

I am sure you will get that canadian residency and later on a citizenship! Good luck on that, it all takes patience!

@CaptAlbertWhisker I admire you. You know soon, I will be moving out soon, and I guess I will be doing something different from I wanna be doing, but you know getting started isn't easy and more when you're in a foreign country so put up with that while you're still waiting on your citizenship, or your document.

@jvicentevalera Yes, my friend. I am working on it now. We need to be persistent this time.

I guess so, I mean you're currently doing some things that you previously wanted to, right?

@jvicentevalera You're welcome and it's true! Yes, we had to work hard to make our dreams come true. Nothing was handed to us on a silver platter. And thank you!

Oh God thank you so much Dianne for such a great compliment. I am so happy that your dreams came true, I guess it was not that easy to achieve them, but it was worth it, right? It is no suprise that you would say that you were a model, cause I totally believe it.

@jvicentevalera It is funny to us Americans sometimes when we see 'foreign' shows or movies. They always seem behind the times. Fashions are like that too. We laugh at Europeans who still turn their collars up. That was cool here back in the 70s but they still do it there like it is cool now. But it is what it is. As for posting and making pennies here on MyLot, I do my best to get what I can here.

I agree with you on soap operas dying these days in the US, I mean you guys are not into them, and I understand that. I guess it's because you guys like watching other kinds of shows like series. I wonder Did you ever get to watch at least one episode of a soap opera Jim? Regarding you not being able to achieve your dreams yet, I say there is always myLot so you can post one of your most creative text over here and it might not give you million dollars as you might want to, but at least you might get a few more pennies than you are used to. Why not?

@simplfred Hey Frederick, well it's never too late to make them happen! You seem too young still. Regards. Great country where you come from, my respects to all the people from the Philippines!

@jvicentevalera Yeah, maybe some are still reachable. Thanks.

@jvicentevalera How kind of you. I just share my honesty. I keep hoping one day something big will happen and who knows!

@CarolDM Thank you well appreciated your honesty.

Absolutely agree with you. Life is so crazy one never knows what the future might bring to our lives, like people say life turns around. It might sound silly but I honestly wish that at least one of your dreams come true sooner or later. Thank you for interacting with me, it feels amazing to read such incredible messages from people like you. I am beyong greatful!

Oh Alvin you have good dreams over there. In my opinion you should not give up on your dreams due to what your parents might say. At the end of the day you came to life to pursue what you think is right for you, not what everybody else says. I say that you can be a teacher, I mean you could teach people how to speak English, or something else that you are skilled! In fact I buy you the idea of becoming a cabin crew for international flights all over thew world, It must be exciting getting to talk to people from other countries and serve them. That sounds terrific!

@Acefun Now I understand it all, thanks for clearing that up for me. My dream career was to become a manager one day. Once the years passed I didn't like to be doing all the numbers and all the stress while the boss was happy in his fabulous office while I was full with overwork. So I gotta say that more than a dream career I wanna manage my own enterprise one day, and not somebody else's. In addition I gotta say that I wanted to be an actor eventually.

@jvicentevalera I agree with you too for the two side of the career paths. However, to be qualified to teach English, the teacher need to have qualification from TESOL, TESL or TEFL. However, my qualification is in different path and my English level is unable to reach the professional level to teach people (except the student want to learn broken English that might ruin their learning time ). For the service industry, companies are tend to employ more female candidates instead of male candidates. Thus supply of male workers is more than demand thus competition is high and can be replaced by younger candidates too. However, I know some airlines are paying considerable high salary (part of the reason is exchange rate differences and tax waived for the base country and for my country - probably apply the same to certain countries too). Yet, their candidate selections process is tough based on review from the website by those candidates. They are also other factors need to consider too. Nonetheless, I cannot meet the minimum high requirement. so there is no hope on it. All in all, my career path now is diverted from the above two dream thus I will be amazed for those people who enjoy working in those industry and especially already served the companies for a number of years. What is your dream career about?

Massive thanks Alfredo, let's see what the future brings. One never knows...

@JudyEv Thank you Judy, hopefully! To me living a happy life like the one you're living, is sort of a dream come true! I am glad to hear that!

Yeah, some people make their dreams come true, while there are others whose path steered in a different direction.

This is actually a great insight. It sort of gives me greatful vibes, not matter what the journey was like the destination was always right.

Judging by your comment it makes me think that you could not make your dream come true, am i right? if so, what did you want to be when you were younger?

Oh, I wonder what are your nightmares all about? *suspense music in the background*
