Walt Disney tells us that "all our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." Everyone has dreams; some choose to pursue them and end up being happy, while others, for whatever reason, choose not to pursue them, and end up being unhappy. My American dream is to become a freelance photographer.
Being a freelance photographer is my American dream because it would make me happy. I've always been creative when it came to visual arts; I always thought of neat ideas, but I could never put them in a tangible form. Until I picked up a camera, that is. I couldn't draw very well, I couldn't paint very well, I couldn't sculpt very well. What I could do was capture my ideas with a camera. From the moment I snapped my first photo, I was hooked. I love being able to capture moments in life and go back and relive them any time I want. It makes me happy.
Hopefully, being a freelance photographer would mean getting paid well. When I get older, I want to have plenty of money. I want to be able to share my success with my family because family is everything. Instead of relying on others, I want to be able to support myself financially.
I would be my own boss if I was a freelance photographer. If I was my own boss, I would be able to go on vacations for as long as I wanted, which would be nice. To be my own boss would be to set my own hours. Setting my own hours would be convenient because it would make my schedule very flexible.
Dr. Martin Luther King once said "I have a dream." I am choosing to try and live my dream of becoming a freelance photographer; I don't want to spend my life wondering "what if?" I believe everyone should try and make their dreams come true. Will you?
