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. 35, D.R. Wijewardene Mawatha, Colombo 10.

My ambition is to be a doctor

My name is Sachi Prabah Weerasekara. I am studying in Grade Seven at the International School in Payagala. My ambition is to be a doctor. I obtain good results in science, 80 and 90 at all the examinations. A doctor treats patients well for illness or an infectious disease. I will do my best to get an 'A' for Science at the GCE O/L and A/L examinations. I hope my dream comes true.






 

I yearn to be an astronomer

My name is Chandu Dissanayake. I am studying in Grade five at Royal International School, Kurunegala. I like to study about space. I will study hard and become a great astronomer. I have read many books and magazines about outer space. I will find the biggest planet in the universe and look for aliens. I have heard that aliens have one eye, one ear, one head, one forehead, one leg and one stomach. They don't eat but they live. They have magical powers to float and have their own vehicles. I hope my dream comes true and that I receive a Nobel prize.



 

An IT engineer, my goal

I am Avishka Ishan. I am studying at President's College, Kotte. I am in the Mathematics stream (Advanced Level).

My ambition is to be an IT engineer. I like modern technology and hope to reach the top and serve my country. I hope my dream comes true.





 

My dream is to be a teacher

My dream is to be a teacher one day. I want to help children learn. As a teacher we teach and learn.

My name is M.R.F. Ramla and I am studying in Grade seven at Al- Manar National School in Kandy. Teaching is a profession which gives happiness and satisfaction. I like to spend time with children. The happiness we gain from teaching cannot be expressed in words. I will try hard to achieve my dream.
