In my future, I believe there will be more pain, but more
happiness as well. My grandmother will win her fight against
cancer. She will be healthy once again, apt to partake in all the
activities that used to consume her life.
I will go off to college, make new friends, and be able to
experience new journeys in the road ahead. When I graduate from
college, I will become a teacher and, hopefully, inspire my
students just as some of my high school teachers have inspired and
supported me.
When I get married, and am settled in my house in the country, I
will instill in my children the values that my parents instilled in
me. If time allows and my writing skills are refined, I would like
to write novels, sharing stories with the people of the world. I
want to make a difference in someone's life. I want to be a good
influence to those around me. The best way to achieve this goal is
by becoming a teacher, or becoming a parent, or even sharing a
story that stands for something important.
In my future, I fear the pain of fading memories. The memories of
my little brother are vanishing, even two and half years since he
has been gone. I will never forget him, but with every day that
passes, the memories of my time with him fade away. I know that as
I see his classmates grow up, I will always ache for what could
have been. Who would he be today?
Whatever happens in the road ahead, for we can never know what
truly lies ahead, I will always remem-ber to believe in myself and
love as much as I can. Each day will bring new opportunities and
obstacles. I will stand strong.
