My name is Risakee Palliyaguru. I study in Grade Four at Hillwood College, Kandy. When I grow up I want to become an English teacher. I wish to teach at my school, Hillwood College. English is a global language. I love to teach children. I want to be a teacher because I will get to dress up in sarees, shoes and carry colourful handbags. I wish my dream comes true and that I get an opportunity to join Hillwood College as a teacher one day.
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.
