Got a Dream? Go for It

Got a dream, but don’t know where to start? We’ve all been there! When you want to accomplish something so bad, sometimes your head isn’t clear and you don’t know where to begin. Well, following your dreams is a lot like doing the scientific method. First, you’ve got to come up with some goal you really want to reach. Then you’ve got to figure out one way that you want to get there. Once you know, you’ve got to do research. For example, if you want to be a teacher, then the first thing to do would be to observe your teachers take command of the class. Then, if you’ve got time after class, start up a conversation with your favorite teacher. Ask how he/she became a teacher. How much schooling do you need to go through? What degrees are you going to need to be able to teach in the future? You will probably have to be a student teacher first at some point before you actually stand in front of a classroom and teach. Are there internships where you can get first-hand, on-the-job experience to see how much you enjoy doing something? Keep positive people around you who can give you advice and support your decision and keep you on track when the going gets tough and you feel like giving up. If one way doesn’t work, try another until you eventually reach your goal!

Remember: when you feel overwhelmed, take a break and do something else so you can clear your head. When we become too consumed with something, we can’t find a solution right away. By working out or simply doing something else, we recharge our batteries and soon enough the solution comes!
