Quickwrite: Helen on 86th street

Everyone has hopes and dreams. In my opinion, though, hopes are just minor, umimportant things. Hopes have 50 and 50 percent of coming true. I count on hopes alot, I hope all the time something comes true, but usually, hopes are not as important as dreams. Dreams, no, actually, the dream I have is the most important one in my life. Hopes are nothing compared to the one and only dream I have. My dream, is to become a CEO of the world's number one electronic company, just like Steve Jobs. Going back to topics of minor hopes and wishes, the quickwrite commands to talk about when we have to accept a loss. What do we do? We do nothing. We just simly accept and learn more. Perhaps the lesson we learn, is to not get your hopes up. What do we do when we are disappointed in love or friendship? We just overcome it, as one person becomes more mature and puts themselves in the other person's shoes. I have had many hopes, getting straight A+s, growing taller, but what is the use? Remember the phemnomenom of the famous quote that keeps floating in to the ear: " No pain, No gain." Hopes are good. However, if no attempts to reach, the goal, the hope is going to get crushed. So in conclusion, hopes are useless things, the main thing to focus on, is the one and only, most important DREAM.

Tough- Thank You, M'am (pg.108) Quickwrite

These tough people have something special that others don’t have, that pushes them forward, and that is faith. Their faith in achieving, accomplishing their goal at the end keeps them going and not giving up. They turn out to be good because they never once lost their faith. Disregarding the obstacles and failures, instead of just giving up, the tough people keeps going and believing till the very end. The others go wrong, because they get discouraged by the obstacles and hardships, failures they encounter. They just stop in the middle of their attempt of reaching their goals, and give up. While the toughest people keep moving forward.

I have been discouraged a lot of times by the hardships, failures and obstacles. I had given up, but not entirely. Recently, I have found my faith again, my goal, and my destiny, and I am very determined to be the toughest person, where I don’t get knocked down by little obstacles and failures, and never give up, and keep moving forward, toward my goal. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
