HAPPY NEW YEAR

So apparently it’s been a while since I wrote something on this blog. Well new year, new chances, new writings on this blog. I totally forgot I had this, otherwise I probably wrote something earlier. I haven’t written anything here throughout the year of 2011. So let me be so kind to fill you up with what I have been doing.

First, I have finished High School in 2010, got my diploma and went away as fast as I could. I rolled right in to college, or as where I live HBO. I am becoming a teacher of children from the age of four till twelve. I didn’t know if this was the right education for me, but then again I didn’t know what else to do. So after all the freaking out and stressing out how I in heavens name I could make it through the first year, I figured that I actually quite love it. The children are of course adorable, and we had a lot of fun throughout the year. I achieved a major goal for me that year as well. In the Netherlands you have to get some kind of diploma in your first year of the HBO. That is your ticket to a higher level of education. A lot of people don’t get that one in their first year, if the even get to the end of the first year. On that moment I decided that I am going to finish that education. Which I do know sometimes regret. The second year turned out to be very different.

So here I am, almost half way through this education, already (sometimes) regretting my decision. It makes me think of what I really want to do. This I already know my whole life. I just never ever took the chance, because I figured it will never work anyway. Since I was a child I dreamed of being a singer (which makes me one of many. Besides singing, I love to act. I never went to a drama school, because I always thought I was never good enough anyway. Last year I had drama lessons on my school. Apparently I did something good, because my teacher said I had to go to a drama school. This made me think again, maybe I am good enough.

So now I am finally getting to the message of this whole story. This year I am willing to take chances, even if they are small ones. I am going to do something with my dream and no one is holding me back. Don’t expect something major because I will be taking baby steps. I am going to start with some singing lessons or maybe some lessons in drama, who knows.
My message to you is: please don’t let your dreams fade. Do something with them! We have a whole new year in front of us, with a lot of new chances, new beginnings, and a lot of time to make your dreams come true.
Have a happy new year and may your dreams come true!

Love,
Me
