A Dream

Part 1 (One Page):

"I write like I'm running out of time. The clock is always ticking down. I know that one day I won't be here anymore, so I write in the hopes that someone will tell my story. I write down my thoughts, hoping that someone will recognize my value. I hope that my writings will send me to my future. I hope to become a lawyer one day, and an advocate for equality. So I pray to any and all gods for help on my journey. I can only hope for recognition."

"When I enter highschool, I hope to get all A's. On all possible assignments, 100%. I plan to spend hundreds of hours volunteering. Volunteering in soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior folks homes, and picking up trash. I want to take rigorous AP classes, and participate in dual enrollment. I will take all possible tests as many times as possible. Every SAT and PSAT, and I will study for the LSAT my whole life. Why?"
"Because..."

            "I have a dream."
