Most of us want a good future in life. Some people are dreaming to become rich or millionaire someday. But for me as a student now, I’m worried if I will be able to reach my dreams in life. Since our family are experiencing financial crisis, I ask myself how I can achieve my future dreams. What will I be ten years from now? My eldest brother has a family to support their needs. So I prayed and asked help to our almighty God to help me to fulfill my dreams. And He did. With the help of our Vice Mayor, I was given a scholarship to attend college. I promise to myself that I will be studying hard to become a good chef someday. There is a saying that “Our good future is in our hands”. I believe in that saying.

Ten years from now I will be a successful chef. Maybe I will have a big salary, a big house and a great car. I will also help my sister to study in college, support my parents’ needs. I will give a quarter of my salary to the needy people. Ten years from now, I will plan to build my own restaurant and raise a family of my own. I will also help our neighbor who is seeking a job. Ten years from now, I will buy our own lot because we are only caretaker in our cousin’s lot. I will also help my other cousins who are needy like us, and also our friends who love me.

Believe in the power of your dreams. Dream, believe and survive. Be confident to yourself and increase your self-esteem. But most of all, pray.
