THE DREAM JOB

Everyone has particular goals, he or she hopes to achieve. Most people have regular ambitions like graduating from a school, finding a highly paid job, and having a beautiful wife or a handsome husband. These people, usually, do not aim to make a positive change to their community. They are usually focused on what they can gain and take from it. Furthermore, such ambitions are usually short in applying and creating new ideas. On the other hand, there are the other kinds of people who strive to find unordinary nonconformist goals. They want to alter the world to the better even though these changes might be small. I hope to believe myself to be one of these people who want to make good but huge differences for humanity.

Since I was a young child, I had many objectives. So far, I have managed to accomplish some of them. However, I still have a lot to do. First, I would like to study medicine. The purpose of studying medicine is not to have a good paid job but to gain a proper position in the community to allow my voice to be heard and to get people to have a trust-in-me. Doctors, usually, are so bravado. So, by being a humble but good doctor, I hope to convey and encourage physicians to be wide opened minded with all the levels of society. Then, I would like to study how to relate medicine with technology. That is because technology is improving everyday and the medical field depends on technology. So, in order to be a good doctor, I have to study the relation between science and medicine. Finally, I want to have and raise a child. I want to give and teach him or her the principles of not only science but all other principles in life. In other words, I want to prepare that child with all the tools and skills that would help him to be successful in life. Also, I want to make him or her a humble and descent person who cares for others' feelings and opinions more than his or hers.

Thus, my dream job is to be an expert in my field, a perfect wife, and an exclusive mother. I want to change every evil act that people do. I hope, one day, when I die and be buried beneath the ground, people remember my positive side.

What are dreams? Why people dream? What happens when people dream? Scientists and experts have been studying dreams for a long time, yet they have not come up with a good explanation.

The problem that scientists and experts have that dreams are abstract. They can not open a dream and study it. What is more, dreams happen when people are unconsciousness. So, they can not tell the experts what really happens when they are asleep. However, experts have done a great job so far about dreams.

The only thing that people know about dreams that dreaming make them feel that they are in another word. That is the good part about dreaming. People could imagine and do crazy things in their dreams that they can not do in the real life like jumping from a high building or stealing an expensive car. Sometimes, dreams, on the other hand, may cause some uncomfortable feelings. This happen when people dream about terrible memories that they have tried to forget or even bad events. What ever the dreams are, they only represent the deep feelings that people have.

One of the unforgotten dreams that I had was when I was ten years old. I dreamed that my life is a long dream and I should not worry about my life any more. In another word, I could do whatever I want in my life unless I wake up from this long dream. Unfortunately, I believed that the dream is real. So, I did every prohibited thing I could do. I did not care about my mother yelling or pay attention to my father anger. I knew it is just a dream and I will wake up one day and everything will be ok again. It seems that this day dreaming condition was triggered by some dissatisfaction to my life, where in my childish mind I wanted to have a life of fantasy.

So, dreams only express what people think and hope for; things that they look to and lack in their reality. They connect and link people to another realm of reality, a place with no boundaries or limits. In spite of all the scientists' exploration and philosophers efforts to reach a rational explanation, dreams just seems beyond human comprehension.

Is Editing Useful or Not?

Is editing useful or not? I have been thinking about this question for the last week. Then, I suddenly remembered one of the bad memories that I have. That happened when I handled in my first lab report in biology last semester. I got zero in one of the questions even though I answered it correctly. When I saw my mark, I cried for a long time because not I had a low mark but I made the answer unclear. Since then I decided to make one of my friends to edit whatever I write even I am quite sure that what I have written does not have any mistake. However, having a good grammar, a compound structure, and a wide range of vocabulary do not indicate that the person will drive the correct meaning to the reader. These are characters that any writer should have them but having them do not mean you are a good writer. That is where editing becomes essential. If the writer wants to make his or her work clear and understandable, he or she must edit his or her work. The editing process should be done by another person in order to make the work perfect. Editing could be done in anything and in any field. However, writing is one of the most difficult things to edit and not any one could be a writing editor. It needs a lot of skills and experience.
