Although Andy was a gang member, he still had definite dreams for his
future. He planned to marry Laura, "get out of the neighborhood" and
have a lot of kids. His dreams, of course, would never be realized due
to his tragic death.

My biggest dream is to become an astronaut achieving up to three space flights. I plan to go to the moon on my third space flight launched aboard a big rocket and spacecraft that will land me and my pilot on the moon.
ReplyDelete@Christian, becoming an astronaut is pretty interesting. You get to make a handful of money, and you have fun while doing so. It would be pretty cool if your plan goes successful and you get to launch a big rocket and land on the moon!
DeleteMy biggest dream would have to be becoming an ultrasound technician or study in radiology. Seeing my sister pregnant and going to all of her ultrasound appointments with her, it made me connect with that type of study. I am hoping that after I graduate and complete two years of college that I can transfer into radiology or something close in subject along those lines. For one thing, this isn't going to be easy; You have to have decent grades and also really pay attention to what your reading and studying. :)
ReplyDeleteThats great that you want to do something because it seems like you mainly there for you sisters pregancy and see what you want to do by going to her doctors appointments.
DeleteI don't have any dreams for the future. My goal is to just work to stay alive. I love music more than anything I can think of. As a child, my dreams were to play music for people to enjoy. Unfortunately, that dream is dead, as the music industry no longer exists to promote talent and creativity, but to promote what is popular. I suppose my main goal specifically would be to find a job in sales, since there are a lot of openings in that area. I don't want a huge house, or a million dollars. I just want a space big enough for me to sleep, eat and have privacy. I don't want to live my life working 24/7 and struggling to pay bills and pay off debt. Life is very easy to live. It's only hard if you make it hard. Adding all that stress and turmoil is a choice. I won't have many obstacles to get over at all. Obviously, life shouldn't be this hard for other people who want to achieve goals that require more to be done, but humans just decided one day that there had to be laws and rules for no reason. It's completely unnecessary. A society does not need all of these restrictions and rules to function. There is no ultimate goal to be reached by society, because life is meaningless. Nothing we do will matter. These unnecessary rules are making life hard for people, when they should be able to enjoy it for as long as possible, because after that, there's nothing. My future lifestyle's goal is to avoid the aggravating results of those laws and have as much fun with my life before I enter an eternity of nothingness and become part of this rock in the middle of the universe.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest dream is to either be a special ed teacher or do something that has to do with mentally challeneged kids. I plan on going to ocean county college first for two years instead of going to a 4 year college just to be sure that i know that this is definitely what i want to do. It's not going to be easy but i think i'm ready for the challenge. I think it's going to be hard to overcome my shyness. It's also going to be hard and expensive to pay for college but i'm going to apply for many scholarships and save up money.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest dream is to become an agent for Naval Criminal Investigative Service Office Of Special Projects. I want to become a federal agent because it’s been a dream of mine for years to become a cop. But the thing is my mom doesn’t want me to become one even though I’d be doing undercover work she doesn’t think that I should move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in N.C.I.S. I want to become a fed because I know it’s what I would be best at. Even though I would have to go to college for many years I know that’s what I want to do with my life. My parents don’t understand why I want to become an fed. I know that moving to L.A. is a big step from New Jersey but the truth is I’m sick of living in such a small place . I’ve lived in New Jersey my entire life and I want to be somewhere big and new. To me moving to Los Angeles is what I know what I would do my best. To be a federal agent has been a dream of mine since I was little. So becoming one is something that I know that I could excel in. Even if it’s hard it’s what I was meant to be even if my mother doesn’t agree with it. I know that I have to do to be happy in my life.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest dream is to become an astronaut achieving up to three space flights. I plan to go to the moon on my third space flight launched aboard a big rocket and spacecraft that will land me and my pilot on the moon. I have always been fascinated by Dr. Wernher Von Braun and his work on engineering and designing the V-2 rocket and the Apollo Saturn V rocket. Dr. Wernher Von Braun designed the Apollo Saturn V while he was chief of the Army's Redstone Arsennal designing the Redstone rocket at Huntsville, Alabama. To become an astronaut, I will go through flight training with the Air Force and NASA and hope to fly in the spacecraft that I will design and build myself. One glorious day soon, the spacecraft I will build will take me to the Heavens high into the Wild Blue Yonder.
ReplyDeleteMy dreams for the future is to become a child psychologist. I plan to graduate high school then go back up to new york to go to SUNY Oneonta for atleast 4 years to get a degree in psycology. I plan to major in psycology and minor in buisness or some type of child care. I've always just wanted to be able to help children with their problems and I want them to have someone to talk to that they can trust besides their parents. Obstacales i have in my life is my dad not wanting me to go to college all the way up in new york because for some reason he thinks the education up there sucks which is absolutely crazy. I hope that he can get over the fact that i'll be moving 5 hours away to persue my dreams because if he doesn't that's going to be a big problem for me. I hope one day i can be succesful in what i want to do.
ReplyDeleteYOOOOOU CAN DO IT
DeleteThis is why your my bestfriend~ great minds think alike. MAYBE we'll open up a business together one day
DeleteMy biggest dream is to become a treasure hunter. I want to be in a big ship in the middle of the ocean looking for sunken treasure and boats that have never been found. That is my dream job because I would enjoy every second of it, it would barley be a job to me because it's something i would enjoy so much. It would be awesome to go discover items and treasures that noone ever has. i would have such a good expeirence. im not a big ocean person , like going swimming in it, but i would absolutely suck it up and go deep sea diving for some treasure. Even to start off now to get a metal detector. anything in that category just interests me and i would love if my life revolved around it when im older. when i was in florida i was on the boat with my uncle and there was a huge treasure hunting ship, the ship was awesome and it inspired me. i knew thats what i wanted to do. they have such an interesting job, i feel like i would never get bored with it. i can't wait to see if i can make my dreams come true and accomplish my goals to get me to where i wanna be.
ReplyDeleteMy dreams for the future is becoming a lawyer. I plan on making this dream come true from when I graduate high school I wont take no break off I am going to college to start my 8 years in becoming what i want to be in my life, i wont let anything hold me back from doing what i have to do. I would love to enjoy my life by helping others in what they have to do , it would actually be amazing if I was able to do something like that. Becoming a lawyer woul be a kind of hard to do. All the work that has to be done and all the information you have to remember as you do your work. 8 years is kind of a long time in college to become a lawyer , but if you want to be something in life you have to be prepared for whatever comes with it. You have to do whatever it takes.
ReplyDeleteThe dreams i want for my future is to graduate high school. I want to go to OCC for atleast 2 or 3 years so i can get my gpa up so i can go NYU ( NEW YORK UNVERSITY). I am from New York, and i have a lot of family out there so i would really living out there anyways. It's a beauitful place. I want to go to NYU to work with kids, i don't want to be a teacher but i would like to work out in the fields with dyfs,or open up a day care. I adore kids a lot, and to me it wouldnt even be a job because i would enjoy doing it. There are going to be alot of obstacles that i am going to have to overcome through the courses of my life. I know a lot about Dyfs and how they work. Not really sure if i can build a wall up to block out the hurt i will see in kids eyes. I think over time you get use of seeing it you become numb to it. I know i would atleast. I would love helping kids out that need help and can not callout for themselves. Or even being a therapist with little kids, you know anything to help them out would make me very happy! I think the hardest part of all this would be moving far away from my family i love them so much && i miss homecook meals, because nothings better then that
ReplyDeleteMy plans for the future are to graduate and go to college i plan on working hard and sacrificing a lot i want to get into the medical career simply because my father had went through a lot about 4 years ago he got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I knew my father was dying, i just knew. he was a strong brave man and i love him very much. Everyday when i had come home from school i would hang out with my father id take care of him give him his medicine, give him hair cuts, massage his back and feet make him meals. id do anything i could to make him feel better and happy. my father began to come sicker to where he could not sleep in my mom and dads bed anymore, hed scream throough the night, would not eat or anything. so we ordered him a hospital bed for the basement we set up a kitchen area an entertainment area and a music studio because my father loved music. One day when i came home from school i walked through the door and heard my father screaming in pain i ran downstairs to see what was wrong i gave him his medicine. I whent upstairs and made him some lunch and came down and gave it to him he tried to eat but he couldent he was getting worse he was about 300 pounds and dropped to 174 within a year and a half. he couldnt keep the food down so he began to give up on eating. i massaged his back and feet that day again. then I sat there and talked to him he told me how he wanted me to become a doctore. to take care of people like him. to take care of people like him like i do for him. He said samantha i want you to find a cure for cancer. I know you can do it your a smart girl. A couple months later my father died and i saw him on his death bed. im doing this for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your dreams for the future? How do you plan to make them come true? What might some "obstacles" be in your life?
ReplyDeleteIn my life I just want to make it through life. I want to live big though. I want to make a lot of money of course, I mean who does not. Making money isn’t my dream for the future though. I would have to say that since I have lived by the ocean all my life, which I definitely want it to stay like that. I love to surf, if I could pick a dream, it would to be able to surf everyday and not go to work/school. I hate school it sucks. But I know that I have to graduate to become something. Which is the reason why I am doing this Blog. How will I make my surfing dream come true though? I am not sure yet. maybe go to a trade school or just take over my dads business. Get a very good job and stack a lot of paper, then just sit on that for living expenses and surf everyday. All I need is my penny and a surfboard and life is set for me. Hopefully what ever I do with my life pays off and get to live my dream. I guess I will just have to wait and see what ends up happening. Maybe ill hit the lottery and become a millionaire just like that, it can happen to anyone. I guess you just have to have the luck.
