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 snail
mail to ‘Junior Observer’, No. 35,

'The pen is mightier than the sword'
I
am Shamzil Amath. I study in Grade Two at Ranpokunagama Maha Vidyalaya.
My ambition is to become a journalist. I like to write and read a lot. I
like to talk to people and learn interesting facts. Journalism is a
challenging job and it is very competitive. I believe that I can bring
changes to many people's lives by my stories. It is a prestigious
profession and I believe in the saying that “the pen is mightier than
the sword.” I pray my dream comes true.
Teachers are helpful and kind
My
name is Opuli Akshana. I study in Grade Four at Primary School,
Veyangoda. My ambition is to become a teacher one day. I admire the way
teachers teach students. Teachers are helpful and kind. They help
children to become great citizens. The service contributed by teachers
to society is really appreciable. I will be a good teacher and teach my
students well. My happiness is to see my students happy.
I hope my dream becomes a reality
I
am D. Yasoj Shri. I study at Digana International School. My ambition is
to become an officer in a government department. An officer is a person
who has a position of authority in an organisation. I study hard to be a
bright, happy and healthy person in future. I hope my dream becomes a
reality one day.
I will enter the engineering faculty
My
name is Nilhan Ramindu. I study in Grade Eight at Vidyaloka Maha
Vidyalaya, Veyangoda. I like to become an engineer when I grow up. It
has always been my dream. I was inspired by the way engineers construct
tall buildings. I will build beautiful, tall and strong buildings. I
will study hard and enter the engineering faculty in order to become an
engineer. I hope my ambition becomes a reality. |
