Hope, wish, fantasy....
Call it what you may, but everyone dreams of being someone or doing
something different when they grow up. Some dream of being astronauts,
rocket scientists, space explorer... Some dream of being clowns,
comedians and running away to a circus. Still others want 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
[email protected] or send it by snail mail to 'Junior Observer', No.

I want to be a writer
My name is Maryam Zihar and I study in Grade five at Ilma
International School, Colombo. My ambition is to be an author one day. I
wish to be a popular and well loved writer. An author is a person who
writes books. I was inspired by Enid Blyton's books. I have started
writing books with one of my friends at school and by myself. I like
writing and I wish my dream will come true. I want to do my best for
this world.
I want to be an Accountant
My name is Chathuka de Silva. I am 17 years old and studying at
Mahanama College in Colombo in the Commerce stream. I will be doing A/L
exams in 2017. My ambition is to be an accountant. My aim is to pass my
A/Ls and enter University. I wish to serve my Mother Lanka by working
for a leading Bank.
I hope to be a Tax Assessor
I am Charutha de Silva, studying at Mahanama College in Colombo. I am
doing my A/Ls in the Commerce stream. I want to achieve my ambition as a
Tax Assessor and do an honest job for the country. An Assessor is a
specialist who calculates the value of property. It is the duty of the
Tax Assessor to assess and collect all taxes imposed on property within
the country. I will fulfill my dream some day.
I'll study hard to be a pilot
My name is Harold Ranuja Ransara. I am a Grade one student at Vajira
College in Colombo. I hope to be a pilot when I grow up. I like to fly
planes and rockets. I am studying hard to be a pilot. My favourite
subjects are Maths and English. My parents help me in my studies. I will
also buy a car when I start earning and take my parents on a long drive.
I hope my dream come true.
