Don’t Let Anything Stop You and Your Dream Big

For a very long time, every American has had a dream, an American Dream. What is an American Dream you may ask? Well what’s your biggest goal in life; to go to college in order to get your dream job, to become a famous singer, to buy a house, or to have a family? Well then, that’s your American Dream. Our story starts off with Katie, a current high school student. She has a big American Dream; one she’s had since elementary school. Her American Dream is to go to The Ohio State University - Mansfield Branch to get her degree in education. When she was little, she would play school with her little brother and her stuffed animals; Katie would be the teacher and her stuffed animals and little brother would be the students.
It was a hot summer day, birds chirping, kids playing outside, wind blowing. Katie and a few of her friends were over at her house. They were in the pool, swimming and relaxing.
“I can’t believe in just a few weeks we will be juniors!” Katie exclaimed.
“Ya,” Elaina said. “It seems like just yesterday I was in kindergarten.”
“You were,” Morgan said with a chuckle.
Morgan and Katie laughed.
Elaina replied, “Okay, me helping at that summer school doesn’t count Morgan.” The three friends laughed. “I meant that it seems like just recently that we started school, and now were juniors in high school! Next thing we know we’ll be old and wrinkly!”
“Elaina is right,” Katie thought to herself. “Time has flown by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was eating my snack during snack time in preschool. I can’t believe in just a couple of years I’m going to be going to college!”
The day finally came; the first day of Katie’s junior year of high school. She was happy to be going back to school because she was going to see all ...

... middle of paper ...

...ong. What’s her problem?”
Landon said, “I have no idea?”
The semester ended and Katie ended up with a C in Mrs. Griffen’s class. When she got her grade card for first half of the year, Katie just shook her head and rolled her eyes.
“I swear she probably just gave me a C because she didn’t like me,” Katie thought to herself. “I guess I’m kinda surprised she even gave me a C, but I did deserve an A.”
Katie got through her junior year; she did her best and got all As and Bs. She really enjoyed her Teaching Professions class her second semester. She liked her placement choice she made; she went to the middle school the whole semester. Katie liked it so much that she tells herself that she is definitely going to take Teaching Professions II and III her senior year.
Katie’s senior year came and gone so quickly. It’s just like they say “Time flies when you're having fun!”
