Hopes and DreamsYou Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!

There is inside youall of the potential

to be whatever you want to be,all of the energy

to do whatever you want to do.Imagine yourself as you would like to be,

doing what you want to do,and each day, take one step

towards your dream.And though at times it may seem too

difficult to continue,hold on to your dream.

One morning you will awake to findthat you are the person you dreamed of,

doing what you wanted to do,simply because you had the courage

to believe in your potentialand to hold on to your dream.
