Quickwrite - Make the Connection

Everyone has their own hopes and dreams that they want accomplish, but these hope and dreams may or may not always come true. Of course, people hate when things don't go the way they wished. When your dreams or hopes don't come true, it is just a harsh thing that you have to accept in life. Life goes on normally. Again, when unfortunate things like losing a close friend or family member, it is again something you have to accept in life. Just like time, life doesn't stop for you. Get over it and keep on living, and yes it can take some time. On the other hand, if the things you hoped and dreamed of had come true, you deserve it and continue life with it. Some of my dreams such as getting in a good collage or getting a decent job when I grow up, are things that I will know the result of in the future. All I can do now to lead my way to accomplishing these goals are working hard. Dreams and hopes does not have to be about your future things. It can be something fairly simple such as winning a tennis  tournament, or hoping your sick grandfather would soon recover. As long as it is some thing you don't know the result of, it counts as a dream or hope.

Quickwrite - Make the Connection

Some students in school might have been under the pressure of not being able to actually be their self. They believed that they should "go with the flow", as in follow what most of the people are doing. This includes what most people wear, do, eat, talk, and so on. They believed that it is weird to not be similar to the people. They could also be afraid to look different then the others, they might think that other people would think that its weird for them to not be similar. These internal conflicts are mostly from personal desires, instead of the outside force. The students BELIEVED that they should act like other people in the school. Believing comes from a person him or herself, yes it may be affected by his or her surroundings, but it still comes from the inside of a person. Being yourself is better than mimicking somebody else. Be creative, learn to express your own feelings or ideas. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that a large amount of people that is unique is better than a group of people that looks the same and do the same things.
