Dreams means something for a young teenager John.
"So what happen did you dream about it again?'' said my best friend, while we were get ready for class."What do you think?''I said looking at him. He was only about 5 inches away from my desk. The bell rang, I saw Mrs. Smith the science teacher coming into the class." Good morning everyone" she said with a fake smile on her face. "Morning Mrs. Smith" everyone said, they were looking bored then ever. Science is the only class I'm failing, every morning I  keep thinking of that dream."JOHN!"i hear a big yell. " What? ooh i'm sorry what did you said?" I said looking confused." You realize you're the only one in this class failing science class right?". I knew that already, I cant focused i keep thinking of that dream. " You want to be send to the guidence again? because that where your heading". The bell rang, " What the homework for tomorrow" my friend ask me. " umm... I don't know?" i said looking him confused. "Aren't you paying attention?". " I cant pay attention in the morning" i was taking my book to star next class. Finally the day ended it felt like it was forever. I got home, my mom always cook food around 3:00. " So how was school?" hate that question, but i always lie abou it. " Well, you know good as always" i said. It was 10:30, it was time for bed. I was a little scared to go to sleep because of that dream."Good night" said my dad turning the light off.I slept, I woke up in dark place no light, no anything. Suddenly there was a bright orb in front of me. I try to touch it but it move forward, finally i ran try to catch the orb. But it was impossible i was running forever i couln't catch it.The alarm when off i wake up. I got to school start class." JOHN!' Mrs. Smith yelled again "you aren't paying attention go to the guidence right now!' she said with a real mad face." but?" i said  looking confused " just go!" I walked out science class, i went to the guidence and sit down on the chair. The guidence was in front of me " john you again? what happen now?". Last time i went i didn't tell him about my dream but this time i am. " I... i have a weird dream, in the dream i'm trying to get the stupid orb in front of me but i cant catch it!" he was starting at me. 'hmmm.. what do you want to be when you grow up?" he asked me. " i don't know?" everytimne somebody ask me this question that my answer " I don't know". " that the problem, look the orb is your dream. You are chasing the orb because you are not reaching your dream" i was silence for a bit " so that mean i am not going to be succesful in my life?". " That my question to you" he said looking at me. " I do... i want to be succesful in my life". " Good so now go home and think about what you want to be whe your older". I went out the guidence room. The school hallway was lonely, no sound, no anything. The bright orb was 3 feet way from me, i was staring at it i know it wasn't a dream. I ran to it and finally i've catch it. I know what i want to do with my life.
