Courage


Dream jobs aren't about being smart. 

They aren't about being rich,

Or pretty,

Or popular. 

Dream jobs are about determination. 

They require you to look deep within yourself,

Find what the self most desires,

And then push the self to attain those desires. 

They're about working hard,

Working so hard that you even surprise yourself. 

They're about education,

Getting accepted to your ideal school, 

Performing to the best of your ability, 

Financing your aspirations, 

And passing with flying colors. 

They're about self respect,

Respecting yourself so much that you allow your dreams to come true.

But mostly, 

Mostly they're about courage. 

It takes a courageous person to get their dream job. 

It takes a courageous person to work that hard.

Courage to fight for your dreams.

Courage to overcome obstacles.

Courage to share your passions with others. 

So come on, 

Let's be courageous. 

Let's be determined,

Work hard,

Get educated,

And respect ourselves. 

Let's reach for our goals and make them become reality. 

Let's be courageous. 

Let's be courage.
