Outside reading #3

For this outside reading I read a poem in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul volume 4. The short story was called Live Your Dream:By Katie Hays. Her poem was about how life is difficult and we all have dreams, but sometimes, well really, most times, your dreams get lost in the day to day of living. She encourages you to keep your dreams alive by making them part of your life even if it will never be all of your life. She says it's ok to cry when things don't work out the way you planned, but to pick yourself right back up and to keep trying. I really liked this poem because I can see how easily life interfers with your dreams. Things seem to go so fast sometimes it's hard to stop and think about what really makes you happy. It is also easy to walk away from something if you don't succeed at first. I like the idea to not give up and to keep your dreams alive!
