This I believe - Essay

Pursue your passion

Lee Dewyze, Will Smith, Leonardo da Vinci. These are all famous people that were driven by passion. “Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do something,” my mom repeatedly declares. Wouldn’t you regret not following and pursuing your dreams because of a negative comment from someone else?

Lee Dewyze, American Idol winner (season 9), said that he wanted to live being a singer until he dies. He believed that he could do it. And he did. He didn’t let anyone tell him that he can’t do it. He is confident in himself.

I have a very strong passion about acting and singing. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a star. I want to be a star because I want to give people hope by showing how great you can be if you never give up and I will keep on striving for my goal. I can do this because I am confident in myself. I became confident in myself because there are so many models that I can look at and follow. Then other kids like me could look up to their hero. I have learned that you can’t give up and just throw your dreams away because then it is like you are throwing away your life.

I am just now starting to pursue my dream and I won’t give up because I know that I can do it and I believe that I can be whatever I want to be. I believe that you should pursue your passion. So if you really believe that you have a talent and you enjoy doing it a lot, then you should show it to the world and not be shy. Express yourself!

You should never let your dreams run away from you because it is you running away from yourself. And you should always stand up for yourself. You should always follow through with your passion, this is what I believe.
