My name is Yasasvi Himawari Perera. I am studying at Nakano College, Bandaragma and I am in Grade Nine. Since Grade One, my intention was to become an Ambassador and serve the country. First, I should study English well and pass the Advanced Level examination in the languages stream. I hope to study English, Japanese and French after my University degree. I will follow a course in International Relation and will help the Sri Lankans living abroad. I will maintain a good relationship with other countries and bring honour to my motherland. It will not be a dream but a reality.
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.
