I Value My Dreams by Darsh S.

Kindergarten, Alcott Elementary

Award of Merit

I matter because I have big dreams in my small eyes. Sometimes, I imagine I am a scuba driver who is exploring the sea and finding new sea creatures, sometime I imagine I am an astronut who is trying to find how we can make human to live on other planets, sometime I am a writter who is writting a book full of fantacy wtih dragons and knights which every kid enjoys to read. sometime I imagine I am robot maker and making robot for mankind. My imaginations are vast and strong, they are my dreams with open eyes. I matter because I value my dreams and work towards making them true.
