My name is Maleesha Poojana. I am ten years old and I am in Grade Five. I study at Sri Walagamba Primary School. My future ambition is to be a doctor. When I visit the doctor to take medicine when I am sick, I wish someday I will become a doctor. I will treat the patients kindly and cure them. To achieve my target I will have to study hard and enter a Medical College. I hope I can achieve my goal.

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.
