Dream on

Hello, Reader lets try an experiment. It will take just a couple of minutes. Now close your eyes free your mind of thoughts and worries. See yourself in an old retched looking house, where you can barely fend for yourself. Days and years run by but one faithful day you discover a hidden treasure box at your basement filled with money and diamonds in large quantity. You being an honest person didn’t feel right about the whole incident and decided to report the case to the police. After which you were given the permission by the police to spend the money. You wrote out a list of all you were going to do with the money starting from buying a new house. Thereafter you made a choice of your wonderland new home with all the best cooks, the most expensive customized cars and everything good in it. You set of to pay for it. And boom!!! Wake up it was just an imagination.

Power of Hope


Life is a journey going up and down up and down Even after death the journey continues on and on So even in the worst moments always say There is hope Hope all the way In the lonely moments always say There is hope Hope that I won't be lonely anymore When in the position of the worst grades always say There is hope Hope that a miracle will happen When pennyless always say There is hope Hope that i will be rich So turn to your right and tell someone There is hope Hope that everything is going to be alright and it is a phase And to the left tell someone There is hope Hope that everything is going to be alright and it is a phase And believe in turn that for your problems There is hope Hope left in your hands that you will excel.

The Transparency of the American Dreams


Despite the varieties of topics running through my mind, I decided to pick a topic called transparency of the American Dreams. I felt it was necessary to really carry out a research about what most people would have migrated with the hope of coming to achieve the well known American dreams. The urge to explore if the American dreams still exist or if it had ever been in existence. It is important to me besides my primary reasons here to study because it is important for two ends to benefit from each other. In the sense that I gain knowledge from here and also share my ideas and my own beyond world of imagination with my source pf education before I take my leave. I really want to talk about the reality of the American dreams in which almost everyone daydream about. One very important thing about my writing this topic is to leave an impact on my readers either positively or negatively, in which is determined by the readers current stand and future outlook. There is always so many things to talk about or write about but this very topic crossed my mind to write about because being an international student, I always heard about the exaggerated American dreams, hoped to experience the overated American dreams and this being my very last writing in my Ling 101 class thought it was wise to recognize the country where i currently reside. Hoping it really unravel and make the opaque American dreams transparent.
