Yesterday as I was driving on my way to home, I started thinking about all those people protesting on the street, missing work, screaming their lungs out for a dream, for something that everybody seems to want but a lot of people forget… the dream to live a better life. I wish I could had been there… with those people, marching and chanting that I wanted the same thing for them which is the best…but unfortunately I was not there…. Now I wonder how many things have missed because I am too afraid….My parents came to this country with a dream as a pillow, with a desire to work as a blanket, with ganas, ganas to make money and help all of their family members…. Up to this point they still have that ganas, but now and then they tell me, “I am tired mi hija”. Now it’s my turn, it’s my turn to continue with my goals, to grab those ganas to progress, to fly and soar above the sky to reach the goals and dreams that I once dreamt. Today it’s your day to let your imagination run wild and dream of all the possibilities that are available to you, and as you dream try to reach for the stars and on the way there, try to help out everybody else because you will find out that dreams taste better when shared with those people you love.
