Everyone has a dream but only some people have the strength and determination to fulfill it. Some dreams are big and others small but all are worth fulfilling. Many people try their whole lives to live their dream but never can quite reach it. You can live your dreams if you have the strength and determination.
Bethany Hamilton, a Hawaiian girl was surfing at a beach on the north coast of Kauai, Hawaii when a shark bit off her left arm. At the time Bethany was only 13 but knew with all her heart that she wanted to be a pro surfer. During the days she was in the hospital all she could think about was, will I ever be able to surf again. Nobody thought she would even get back in the water, and never imagined she would attempt to surf again. With all of her strength and determination Bethany is now a Pro. Surfer. She is living her dream.
Cadel Evans’ dream was to win the Tour De France. He came from a small town in Australia and rode the Tour De France 7 times. In 2007 and 2008 he came second and in 2008 he was so close to coming 1st, but he never gave up. He continued riding the Tour and finally this year he won. Not only did his dreams come true but he made history, he was the first Australian to win the Tour De France and is among the five oldest winners of the race. His dream came true because he never gave up.
Fred Hollows was a very talented ophthalmologist. His dream was for no child to be blind from a sickness. He traveled to undeveloped countries to help restore children’s eyesight. He was amazingly successful as he fixed thousands of children's eyesight and now he has passed away but there is a foundation called ‘The Fred Hollows Foundation’ which continues his help to many children. Not only did he live his dream but he made many kids dreams come true to.
Living your dream is hard enough but these 3 people did more than that. These 3 people not only lived their dream but made history or helped others live their dream in the process. It may not be easy but it is possible and if you try hard enough you might just achieve more.
