You know I must say that this piece is completely and utterly sad.
The idea that the ones who teach us are the ones that are trying to crush our dreams just makes me so mad. Instead of inspiring us and guiding us where we want to go, they try to put us down instead.
I think that the life choices you wrote down were awesome. I especially love the Vet Nurse one. I tried to do that but it was emotionally difficult for me. It was hard when I had to hold an animal while it was being put down : ( that part hurt me the most.
One thing that I wanted to become was a massage therapist. I was always told that I was good at giving massages and maybe they were just saying that to get free massages lol though in the end I found that it was an awesome idea. It was after high school and I was figuring out what to do and I thought about that, my uncle though convinced my parents that it wasn't the best thing. People look at massage entirely different, my uncle told my mother that it would lead me to massage other areas lol Oh man I was so angry at him for that and my mum for listening to him. I know in the end it was my choice but back then, my parents were so strict that my decision was not my own.
I think that teachers of all things though should be much more supportive especially since they are our role models.
I love this piece as it made me think of a lot of things in my own life but also the struggle that other people go through as well. AWESOME

OH yes I forgot to mention, please don't let anyone tell you what to do and what not to do. Just follow your heart and dreams

Really stellar! I have some points which I think may be important:
(1) 'TV' not t.v.
(2) 'counselor' not 'counsellor'
(3) Fifth stanza line 2 'tell' not 'told'
This aside, I really enjoyed the brilliant thoughts of story which tells us one of the most dangerous faults of many teachers who are supposed give advices instead of making students so dis appointed killing their dreams. 5/5

I found this really sad, something that I have known is that if we want something in life we have to go for it, and prove those who think that we cannot do it, wrong. But that's only if we really want then we won't give up. Otherwise, we are just going to listen to those people and feel sad and insecure.

Just follow your dreams and do try to achieve them.

Never give up and continue on hanging
on to your dream and go after.
Don't let others convince you that you
can't do it. Always remain true to yourself
and strength comes from within.
Just by reading your excellent poems
you are gifted and have proven them wrong
