My Dreams

My dream is to be a successful dentist.  I really want to realize my dream because that is what I really wanted when I went to middle school in Colombia.  Being a dentist for me is really interesting because I love medicine and I like to help people.  When I started middle school, I always talked to my friends about what I wanted be and I always said that I wanted be a great dentist who could help poor people that did not have the money to pay for the dental work.  My dream is not only to be a dentist; my dream is also to have a wonderful family with whom I can share my experiences and make many more with.  I hope that my sons/daughters will be proud of their mother and will follow their dreams as their mother did. My plan is to continue studying hard and look for a good university where I finish my studies.  I have to be very responsible and be careful of what I am doing because I know that being a dentist is not a game.
Finally I hope that my dream will come true, I thank God and my parents for giving me the motivation to continue with my studies. 

Secret of Happiness

The secret of happiness for me is in every one of us.   Happiness doesn't mean that you need to have all the material things like big houses, the best clothes, the best car or a lot of money.  For me the secret of happiness is very important.  If I have to give a piece of advice to someone on the secret of happiness, I would say to that person that the secret of happiness is to follow your dream regardless of what the people say or think about your dreams.  Following your dreams is the secret of happiness because it is your dreams that make you continue life without thinking of the obstacles that you could have.  Your family is also a part of the secret of happiness because they are the ones that are always going to give you the courage, the enthusiasm, and the energy for you could accomplish your dreams.  Finally, I conclude that the secret of happiness is to simply be you and follow your dream without letting the marvels that are around you pass you by and don’t forget that money cannot buy the happiness.

Working =)

After two months of arriving The United States I started to work as a packer in a supermarket.  I worked there the seven days of the week after school.  It was a nice experience because I never thought that one day I would work in a supermarket because when my parents went to the supermarket to do shopping I never went with them because it was the worst for me.  A year later I decided apply in Target, where I started to work in the summer of 2008 as cashier.  I was scared because I know that I have to speak more English than I used to speak at the supermarket, but it was fine because one of the girls that works there helps me a lot with my English and after a few weeks I started to feel more comfortable.  After six months later I started to work at Starbucks that belongs to target.  It was very fun working there because it was a nice experience to learn how to make the different kinds of coffee that they have.  When I started working there I always started the day taking my favorite drink that was caramel machito.  Two years later I started to work in a dental office.  Working in this office has been great because this job is closer to what I want to be.  The people that work there make me feel very comfortable and it is very important for me.  I hope to get a lot experience there because it will be very helpful for my career as a dentist.
