My dream became my goal

My name is Lorena Patricia, I am seventeen years old. I was studying at "Andino" school, and I finished to study there last year. Now, I have to start a new stage in my life. I will study at the University this year to follow my professional dreams that are about what I am going to talk now. During my life I have had a lot of goals that I wanted to achieve, and I will do everything that I can to achieve what I set.

When I was young I wanted to become a singer or a famous actress, but whereas I was growing up I was realizing that we have to follow our objectives. Even though the majority of the persons think that the most important objective in life is to get money, I think that we have to do what we like to do, no matter how much money we gain. I know that money is important; otherwise, we could not survive. Nonetheless, we should not do whatever to gain money; we have to do what we like. I mean that in my opinion, working should not be a sacrifice, but rather it should be funny, we should enjoy working.

During the passage of the years, I was experimenting different activities, and one of my favorite ones was drawing. I decided that whatever is the carrier I choose in the future, I should draw. I enjoyed a lot drawing and painting different things, but principally clothes. In that moment I wanted to become a fashion designer. Consequently I was looking for different places to study that, there was when I saw another carrier that I liked a lot. It was Interior design. Since that moment I was dreaming of becoming a famous Interior designer.

I was investigating and I concluded that interior designers can develop their work in three main areas. The first is in shopping malls because there are shopping windows that are constantly redecorated. According to a U.S popular magazine that redecoration happens sixteen times in a year. Not only there are shopping windows but there are also stores and fast food restaurants that have to be well decorated to have more clients. Houses are another important area for interior design application because a rich person can pay millions of dollars to have nice designs in their homes. Furthermore, to make a good television show or a good movie, directors always need a interior designer to work on stage; for example, the movie “2012” invested more than a million of dollars just in scenography. If you do not want to go so far, the series “Al fondo hay sitio” in Lima or “Magaly Tv” show invest thousands of soles just to decorate their stage.(1)

As I said, for me is important to have fan working, so I will study Interior design because now, more than a dream it is a goal that I traced and I want to achieve. I think that a dream became a goal when action is taken toward to achieve it. Many told me that I have to get my economic independence; thus, with this carrier I will be happy not only because I will enjoy drawing and creating but also because I will obtain the money that I need to live.
