I am Mohamed Shakhan. My ambition is to become a football player. I am studying in Grade Two at Zahira College, Maradana. My father was a football player. I have three siblings and my elder brother is captain of under 13 football team at Zahira College. Both my father and brother show me how to play football. I got a football as a birthday present for my birthday and now I practise with it. My role model is Christiano Ronaldo and I make it a point to watch his matches on TV and the Internet. One day I will become a great football player.
Hope, wish, fantasy….
Call it what you may, everyone dreams of being someone or doing something different when they grow up. Some dream of being astronauts, rocket scientists, space explorers… Some dream of being clowns, comedians and running away to a circus. Still others wish to be lawyers, doctors, cricketers or superstars.
The sky, as they say, is the limit to your dreams… But what’s the fun if you keep it all to yourself? So why not put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, and share with us what you dream of being, when you grow up? You can mail your dreams, along with your photograph to husnakghs@ yahoo.com or send it by snailmail to ‘Junior Observer’, No. 35, D.R. Wijewardene Mawatha, Colombo 10.
