The writing topic I am picking is "dreaming of my future." Although this could be a girly cliche topic, it can definitely be much more. I have many personal goals for myself, and I find it very important to keep on reminding myself about them. This would be the perfect opportunity to do so. There is so much to write about when thinking of my future. I could write about how I want to be a Dallas cowboys cheerleader because it has been a goal for so long. To broaden that topic I could talk about how I could achieve that goal or also how it actually became a goal. Many influences in my life gave me the idea to have a goal like becoming a Dallas cowboys cheerleader. From dancing for fifteen years to having family in Dallas, it has always been appealing to become a Dallas Cheerleader. Having a family is another goal in my life, I always tend to think about a perfect family I might have one day. I tend to never think about the negatives, which may not be such a good thing. Another bad thing that could happen from thinking about this topic of dreaming of perfection is that anything could happen in the present to cause imperfection in the future.
When I do something or make choices in the present it could and probably will most definitely make an impact on my future. It is frightening to think that everything we do now will effect our future in some way, whether it may be good or bad. Of course, I always dream of my future to be good. I feel as if something does not go my way I get upset because I gave myself high standards while dreaming of my future. For example, I am the yearbook editor and daily I think about the final product of the yearbook, hoping it won't have any mistakes. When I get the book back I know that there will be mistakes. Even knowing this I still will find it upsetting when I find the mistakes because of the perfection I was dreaming of. I think as I write about this topic more and more it will help me limit my thoughts about the perfection of my future. While thinking of becoming a Dallas cheerleader I have my fears and my hopes that drive me to want this dream even more than ever. Not practicing dance scares me into thinking I will not be good enough to make the team. But this doesn't stop me from hoping for the best.
I have worries and concerns about whether I will pick to do the right things in the future. Searching and digging deep into these worries will possibly help me recognize 246 that there is actually nothing to be concerned about. Why should I be so concerned about the future when I'm living in the present? I always wonder if I take this present day life for granted. Already, I have broadened my topic a lot. I am very excited about this topic because I believe that 300 you have to be passionate about something to make it good. If I write about something I'm passionate about my essays will be more interesting and I will enjoy them more.
Fascinating dream. You know, cheerleaders have a stereotype, but the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have an even more unique stereotype. I'd like to see you discuss how they are perceived. They are the best in the profession, but they also are commonly stereotyped?
ReplyDeleteWork on word choice--good, bad, thing. Also, give us examples of seeing the cheerleaders as a kid or of visiting your family in Dallas. MOMENTS.
I love this! I also find the topic very interesting. These things are something that are constantly on people's minds and you go very deep with it. You have lots you could talk about but I think that just choosing one thing would make it a lot easier. I can't wait to keep reading!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Sammy! I love how you are writing about your dreams and goals! I think writing about them will help you achieve them! This was very interesting for me to read as you did a fabulous job describing what being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders would mean to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Samantha! I'm glad you chose to talk about the future because I know that's on everybody's mind with graduation and college right around the corner. I envy the fact that you are already on the road to doing what you want to be in the future. You will make a perfect Dallas Cowboy cheerleader! I remember your freestyle dance during the talent show two years ago and that was amazing. I can't wait to see what else you post regarding the future and your future.
ReplyDeleteI think your topic is a really good pick! When I think about the future I find it in a way weird and am anxious about what it will be like. I look forward to reading what you have to write
ReplyDeleteSamantha I can totally relate! I am constantly thinking about my future and worrying about where I will go in life. I am the kind of person that tries to plan out every detail of my life and when something doesn't go the way I plan, I freak out. I am so proud of you though for willing to chase your dreams! I hope your biggest take away from this blog is to push yourself even further in accomplishing your goals!
ReplyDeleteI love how you give your worries and anxiety to the future and realize we need to live in the present, because we're really not even promised the future. I cant wait for what you write next! This was an eye opening essay.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good topic for so many people right now! we are all so worried about our futures and i can't wait to read how this develops.
ReplyDeleteLove this topic. Honestly one thing I do so often is picture this perfect outcome, and I am always disappointed when it doesn't live up to my standards. I have so many dreams for my future in so many aspects and I always wonder if I'm setting too high of standards or expectations. Is it such a bad thing to do so? Cant wait to see what your next blog says!
