My cycle of dreams were like , at first i wanted to be an astronaut, 2ndly wanted to be an aircraft engineer, but i ended up being an Accountant. Not yet professionally an Accountant but that is where i will end up. Being an Accountant is not bad i love it but i did not really choose it. I often wonder when exactly i stopped dreaming. I had so much potential growing up and so many dreams but when did i stop dreaming. when did i give up on my dreams.Every time i look back and try to figure that part out i never remember the exact moment but i do remember the cause of me giving up on my dreams. As a Zimbabwean child living in the ghetto, being an astronaut was just a childish dream, as soon as you start going to school that dream was just going to fade and be lost because the more you say it was the more people looked at you and give you those "you are still young to know looks" until u realize what they were trying to say. So yes that how that dream died. Being an aircraft engineer was The Dream, my end game. It was where i always saw myself at 25 being one of the leading aircraft engineer in Africa. One could say i was a dreamer. But that dream died in high school, after the ultimate humiliation. I was selected to be in the sciences class. This made me super happy and it meant my dream would go on. Later that same week we were re-screened and i was moved out of the sciences class into the commercials. If you have never been to be on the receiving side of bullying you would never understand what that did to me. I was laughed at. People made awful jokes about the school realizing you are not that smart after they put you in the smart peoples class. After a week or two i was given the option to go back into the sciences class but because of the comments i was already receiving over the humiliation of being removed out the class i chose to stay in commercials class. Because of somewhat bullying among my own peers i gave up on the dream i had for as long as i remember. Often i wonder what would have happened if i had been confident enough, if i had been bold enough to ignore the comments from my peers. Would i have been an engineer today? Where would i be?
