You are a dream builder

If there was something I can be proud of as a teacher was the workbook I made. First year college students and transferees of our school used that book in their subject- Freshmen Formation Program.  The first lesson on that book is entitled "My Dream".  Students were asked to write down their dreams in life. In our discussion, I emphasized to my students that dreams are free.  If you dream small, you probably achieve it so easily.  

The video that you are about to see is not the most popular video of Susan Boyle.  If you have not watched that one, just search in Youtube.  When Susan was asked who she wants to be, without hesitation she said Elaine Paige.  You could see one of the judge eyes rolling and ahhs from the audience.  Nobody believed this poor woman who is not gifted with good looks can achieved what she just declared. 

Well, after her rendition of I dreamed a dream she was a superstar.

What you will see is her duet with no other than Elaine Paige.  Very touching to see her realize her dream.

As teachers, it is our role to help our students realize their dream.  We ignite their passion and inspire them to pursue it.
