Short Stories for Teachers

Education is the Most Important
By:Drew Backley

Growing up in a neighborhood that is mostly filled with poverty, your education is your most important thing. Without that, you would go nowhere. I have a lot of dreams because as Martin Luther King Jr., said "He had a dream" and yes his dream about equality sure did come true. Every one has a dream they want to achieve. Since I was a little girl in elementary school the teachers would always ask you want do you want to become when you grow older and I would always respond that "I want to become a doctor or a nurse anything that is in the medical field".

My teachers would always say that you could do anything that you put your mind to and that is exactly what I did. My inspirations to me are my parents because they always instilled into me that education is important and since I am a African American woman I have a lot of things against me, so that means I would have to work extra hard in order for me to reach my goals. Since then I have been putting in extra effort for me to be successful in the future.

I'd made sure that I kept an average in the A's department and I also made sure that I participated in community services like walking "The March of Dimes" and "The Breast Cancer Walk" and doing some other activities that would help out my community. I also joined in the program Arista for children that have a ninety average in my current high school named John Dewey High School. I attend to go to a prestige college like one of those Ivy League Schools in order for me to become something professional in the Medical Field.

My dream job is to become a doctor, most likely a Dermatologist, and open up my own business because one of my dreams is to become an entrepreneur by selling clothes, perfumes, sneakers and etc. My clothes would be called Exclusive by: Itisha, and my perfume would be call Luscious by: Itisha, my sneakers would be called The Scoobies. Even though I never want to become a fashion designer, becoming one is one of my dreams because there are a lot of ways that you can become successful and I am going to take a gamble. My dream job would be in a high-class place like The Hamptons or in California and New York. I would also have to think smart because I would want my product to sell. Also I want to be able to walk on the red carpet with all of the famous people. I know one day I am going to be famous but the only thing that I don't know is how I am going to be famous.

My dream job would allow me to live in a high profile life and shopping anywhere, I want a life not worrying about any financial situation. I would shop at the Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton shop without any worries. I would own exotic cars like Ferrari and Lambourghini and etc. A lambourghni is one of my dream cars. I also want to live in a six floor mini mansion built from scratch because with my dream job money is no issue for me. I want to live in luxury with my family. I also want my future kids to have things that I can never have or I couldn't afford to have. I want to live lavishly without worrying about any bills or having any financial crisis.
