I had never imagined the seashore to be so lovely. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, all your worries seemed to vanish. One night I was sitting on the beach, looking at the mysterious sky sparkling with myriad stars. I thought this was a good opportunity to reflect on my life and what I was going to do in the future. Despite obstacles, I should have the courage to attain my goals. How time flies! I'm no longer a child - I'm 17 years old. What will my future be? Bright or dull? Honestly, I have two dreams - one is to obtain a university place and the other is to travel the world. I remember being told that if you see a falling star you can make a wish and it will come true. There is still a lot of hard work ahead and there will be many challenges awaiting me as I strive to achieve a certain standard. Of course it would be ideal if I can get into the faculty of my choice. Then plenty of revision will be required if I really want to make my dreams come true. The stars seemed to be smiling at me, as if they agreed with my plans for the future. I have been having these dreams ever since I was small. No matter how harsh the environment is, I will try my best to treasure my life. I would like to learn different languages which will be useful when I'm travelling around the world. Of course financial independence is one of the requirements. If I were to graduate from a local university, I would further my studies overseas. I suddenly noticed that I was dreaming. All I need to do now is to take action as soon as possible. I'm confident that I will be successful in my search for true happiness! Che-lam is a student of Holm Glad College
