Dream: Electrical Engineering and Hard Work

Some people may say that dreams are unassailable to follow and its impossible to be able to get them. But, thats actually not true. The fact is that dreams are the most amazing things in life we all love to dream, love to hope and love to see our dreams love true. Our dreams are in our hands. We are the adepts who control them we are the ones who can make them either come true or not. In the article A raft of Stars, Grounded in the Dust of Rural Indian, Somini Sengupta talks about Anupam Kumar, an Indian boy who lives and grows up in a poor family but has a big dream. He wants to meshs at NASA.In the article, the author describes the road to fulfill his dream as well as the difficulties he met such as poverty, difficulty gaining word sense to go to college, the intensity of competition, and his failure on the offset printing exam. However, Anupam never enforces up on his dream and finally achieves his dream with his sustain determination and hard work as well as bear out f rom his parents and his teacher. Like Anupam, I alike take aim my own dreams. My dream is to become a computer engineer because I love technology and I believe that in the future, computers will become indispensable to human life.I will definitely reach my dream because of the support from my mother, my determination and my choler for computers. I will reach my final stage thanks to the support from my mother. When I was a child, I was introverted. I hardly left the star sign and often spent my time in boredom, I did not have a goal and I also did not know what kind of person I would be in the future. Despite all of this, my mother is a person who changed me and patroned me determine a goal of my life. My mother is the first person who established my passion for computers.Whenever we went to my uncles house, I always asked him to teach me how to use his computer. At the time, I did not realize that I loved to study computers so much. I thought it was just because of my curio sity, but my mother did not. She saw through my heart and she k untried what I needed. Living in Vietnam, computers were outrageously expensive, but my mother worked very hard in other to yield me a chance to a new world of technology. Since I have my own computer which I got as a result of a lot of sweat and hard work by of my mother, I feel like a fish returned to the ocean. I became a new person.I studied hard and got good grades and my life became much interesting because I have more friends not only in Vietnam but also all over the world. I think that my life wouldnt turn a new page if I did not receive my mothers support. Therefore, I always try my best to reach my dream and deserve my mothers faith. Determination is one of my qualities which will help me reach my goal and one of the aspects of determination is hard work. I still remember the hard time I had when I tried to use a computer the first time. It was written in English and at that time, English was one of the cour ses I hated the most in school.But I liked computers more than anything else, so that I decided to study seriously. Every day, I tried to remember and take in ten computers vocabulary words. I tried to read book in English one page or two pages a day. That really was a hard time for me. It took me hours to complete two pages with help from a dictionary and I followed it day by day. After three months, I could read more than five pages in an hour because I knew more vocabulary than before. My computer skill also got better and I really enjoyed it. Another aspect of determination is persistence.Persistent people will not give up the things they follow or they believe in even if in front of them are a lot of difficulties. I am one a persistent person. For example, when I was in college, I had a difficult time with a programming course it was too new for me. I could not understand at all and for that result I got only three points (out of 10) on the first exam. I wasnt the only one wh o did badly almost 70 percent of the students had the same grade like me. For that reason, almost half of the students gave up on that course after two months.But I did not give up so easily. I tried to understand and remember lessons in class. After school, I read a book, practiced at home on the material which our teacher showed us, and read the next lesson for the next day so that when I had a question, I could ask my teacher immediately. I believe that I can do better if I follow the things I believe in. Finally, I passed that course with 8. 5/10 on the final exam, whereas others students had to study again for the next semester. I think that hard work and persistence will still help me in the road to fulfill my dream.Passion for computers is also one of my qualities which will help me reach my goal. Since I knew how interesting computers are. I was excited by this forge. I had so many questions about this machine. I wondered how one machine could do so many things. However, computers were very expensive in the past it was only for rich people and my family could afford it. My dream looked like impossible at that time, but the passion for computers in me did not let me stop thinking about it and it helped me believe in the future that I will have my own computer.The hope of having my own computer followed me in two years and finally my mother helped me make it come true. Since I have gotten my own computer, I have begun studying seriously I knew what my dream is and what I need to do to make it come true. I borrowed books from my uncle and read it when I have free time. When I had a problem with my computer, I tried to fix it, but it was useless. My mother had to hire a computer engineer to fix it, and at that time meliorate computer was very expensive. Therefore, I learned how to fix the computer by watching the engineer so that I will be able to do this myself in the future.Now, I am learning computers in the U. S. where the first computer was born. I believe that if we really love something we can achieve it by passion and hope. After read the article about Anupam Kumar and the road to fulfill his dream, I have more confident, hope, and power to make my dream come true. I am deeply gratitude my mother who did everything for me so that I have more opportunity to accomplish my dream. My experience with computers has taught me to be patient and persistent and never to give up. This is a lesson I can apply throughout my life not just for computers.
