My name is Shahid and I am 11-years-old. I am studying in Grade Six at Zahira College. My dream is to become a football player. My favourite football player is Cristiano Ronaldo. He is my role model. My father was also a football player. He takes me to watch football matches. My father guides and coaches me a lot. He encourages me to play well too. I pray my dream comes true.
Hope, wish, fantasy….
Call it what you may, everyone dreams of being someone or doing something different when they grow up. Some dream of being astronauts, rocket scientists, space explorers… Some dream of being clowns, comedians and running away to a circus. Still others wish to be lawyers, doctors, cricketers or superstars.
The sky, as they say, is the limit to your dreams… But what’s the
fun if you keep it all to yourself? So why not put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, and share with us what you dream of being, when you grow up? You can mail your dreams, along with your photograph to husnakghs@
yahoo.com or send it by snailmail to ‘Junior Observer’, No. 35, D.R. Wijewardene Mawatha, Colombo 10.
