Obama's speech 2010

Hi Sonia! That's an email to explain you about my goals in a short and a long term. Until now I have earned good grades (in my opinion) and I have played tennis almost every afternoon, so that's a little challenge that I have successfuly passed. Some days I was tired after school but I always went to my tennis class because "you become good at things through hard work". I have lost a lot of matches, of course, but I have never given up. I won't probably be a professional tennis player (because it's very difficult) but I have the second chance to get a scholarship to study abroad (USA). In the future I will meet challenges more difficult but I have to face them and keep fighting like now. 

Well, as I said in the introduction I have the chance to study in USA, clearly that's my short term goal. I have to put my best to earn good grades and achieve go there. Probably most of the people set their own goals but if I go there I will be too much focused trying to fit in and getting my university degree. I will meet challenges every day so it will be enought, my dream is to meet all this little goals.


Long term goals are difficult to say, our lives are changing every time. As Obama said "I have to discover what am good at" so my responsibility is to discover what it is and put my best to develop that. I want to pay my bills in the future so it's important to get a job but keep going with my own live if it's posible. Maybe that's my long term dream, to get a job but without forgetting my live, to approach every single free time I will have. 


Obama's speech was very moving in my opinion, it's like a movie of the poor guy that meet all their goals after having a lot of chances to get a turn for the worse, but he didn't give up and nowadays is the president of the USA. It's a good example of success like Michael Jordan and J.K.Rowling. I liked so much the idea that every one of us are special doing something. While I was watching the vidio I was asking myself (me too?), but mr.Obama said it very convinced so may be true. 


To sum up I must say that it's positive that we thing on dreams but is more important to approach our adolescence. There is a catalan expression that I love so much and says "what didn't kill you makes you stronger" similar to "You have to let your failatures teach you". I think that this sentences are my conclusion, I have to try and if I fail I have to learn of it and keep going, always keep going.
