??At what age do we give up on our dreams? We start off at a young age believing that anything is possible if we believe it is. Then we learn that sometimes we can't follow our dreams because we have to be realistic. We are supposed to do what is best even if it's not what we want. Why must we live by this rule? Why must we stop dreaming at a certain age? ? Why can't the girl that sits next you become a singer? ? Why can't the guy to your right become a football player? ? I believe that our dreams and goals give us hope for our futures.
