THE DREAMS ARE FREE

Dreams are free and never know age. So, everyone can dream everything they want. Children can dream to be a doctor in the future, student can dream of becoming cum laude graduate, and many other dreams. And I also always dream, that in future, I can be a successful woman. It is classical dream because nobody wants to be an unsuccessful person. However, I have something different in myself.

My aunt and my uncle are civil servants, so does my father. My grandparents are teacher, so does my mother. It is obvious that my family social background is ordinary civil servants. I have never known why. What it was designed or destiny. They said that becoming a civil servant is comfortable because they get guarantee in future with monthly retirement salary. It is right, but sometimes I found it hard to think another world. It seems, consistency of being an ordinary civil servant will be faced by me.

This situation inspired me to out of this tradition. In future, I want to be better than them. I want to raise dignity of my family and make them proud of me. So, since senior high school, I designed my steps to grab dreams with pray and work hard to study in the best college. However, my mother reminded me that, “The truth of life will be faced when you graduated from senior high school. Since that time, you will begin to think everything for your life and the unexpected thing will run beside you.” I thought hard to understand these sentences and prepare myself. So, if it is true I was not going to shock.

I thought that being a doctor is the best choice because no one of my family is a doctor. After that, I would build my own business in health field. My mother gave me freedom to choose, so she just supported. Although she thought, that it will be better if I entrance accounting because I could be free to run my business.

My target only passing entrance tests of colleges with the choice of Medicine Faculty. However, I disappointed when the announcement came. It seemed no other rooms for me to move and my dream was lost. I did not know what I should do after graduated because I found hard to entrance colleges. My mother’s quote was right. She said that faculty of medicine was not mine, another ways were waiting for me.

Furthermore, I looked for other chance. I realized that being a doctor was only my ambition and because of this, I forgot my real dream. My friend suggested me to enrolled scholarship at Sampoerna School of Business. There were two majors, management and accounting. I did not need long time to take this chance and choose accounting. The form gave me information that there would be almost five steps to pass the test. Start from data selection, TOEFL, psycho test, discussion group and interview panel. Although it was looked like hard, I tried it.

Finally, I could pass all the test and now I am studying in Sampoerna School of Business. I am walking to grab my dreams here. I know now what the best dream for my future. I am going to being a professional entrepreneur and build my own business. Then, I will develop it become a foundation which run in many sides and make new job for the others. In other side, I can raise dignity of my family and make them proud of me. I am sure I can. Because world need bravery. It is like what John F Kennedy, President of USA, said, “We need men who can dream of things that never were.”
