　　As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

　　Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

　　Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.

　　In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart.
