792 Words4 Pages

Speech: Achieving Our dreams Today is like any other day of the year. Each day we wake up, shower, eat breakfast and start the day’s activities. Some of us go to our jobs, others go to school, and some do nothing. At the end of the day, we go to sleep. This is repeated every day, seven days a week, four weeks a month and 365 days a year. Life has become repetitive as if we are stuck on a hamster wheel. We have grown attached and comfortable in this tedious and repetitive cycle. Once you are stuck in this cycle, you lose motivation in developing your interests and shaping yourself. It is easy to be boxed in and nowhere to go. The people that I have grown with and the obstacles that I have faced throughout my life have molded the person you see in front of you today.

However ladies and gentlemen, what are dreams? Dreams are goals that everybody set and they work towards achieving those goals. Once in one’s life for
