Chapter 3 - CHELSI AND HER DREAM

The very next day she had to go to her school. It was 7:00AM at morning and she got ready by that time. She was waiting for her school bus to arrive. She was very much excited about going to school that day because it was her day to submit her project in school, for which she was working so hard towards the same. Her school bus arrived and she went to her school. As soon as she arrived her school she saw one of her group of friends were passing by, she shouted and called them out, they saw them and smiled. They stopped there and then as they were waiting for Chelsi to join with them. She came down from her bus and ran towards her friends. Once she went upto her group of friends, she realized that they were talking about a very interesting topic which was "DREAM". One of her friends asked Chelsi too that what did she dream off, as in what she want to become after she grew up? Chelsi answered in simple words "I want to roam this whole world, I want to see this world, I want to become a traveler" , but as she was saying all these things to her friends, she started realizing that her parents wanted her to become engineer or doctor just because she was good in studies. She told her friends about the same, her friends suggested Chelsi to speak to her parents about her dream maybe they will understand. She took their suggestions and decided to speak to her parents about the same. School bell rang which meant it was time for her first period. She was excited about her first period, because in her first period itself she had to submit her project because the project was also all about "DREAM". She was thrilled to share her views, thoughts, ideas and her dream with her teacher and her classmates. First period began and her teacher started calling out names in alphabetical order. After few names were being called her heart started beating heavily, she had this feeling inside her heart because firstly she never got a chance to speak in front of her classmates and in front of her teacher and secondly she was excited to share her dream. As teacher called her name out, a thought ran into her mind "NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO SHARE HER DREAM, NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF HER OWN CLASSMATES, NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO LEAVE BEHIND ALL HER SHYNESS AND BECOME A STRONG GIRL" by thinking this, she gathered all her courage and she proudly presented herself and her thoughts in front of her class, when she finished speaking, each and every person present their, whether it was her classmates or her teacher, stood up and clapped for her and also wished her good luck so that she could make her dream come true. She bowed and she came back to her seat, at that very moment she decided to talk to her parents about her dream so that they could also help her to achieve her dream of being a traveler. School bell again rang, this time it meant that school was over for today and it was time to go home. Chelsi was happy and excited because she decided to talk to her parents about her dream. She reached home, after opening the door of her house, her mother welcomed her and asked her to put everything on her place and get freshened up as it was time to have her lunch. She agreed with her mother and she went upstairs to get freshen up, after she freshened up, she came down for her lunch. Chelsi and her mother sat down and they were having their lunch, meanwhile she started talking to her mother about the project which she made, and about her achievement of the day and while talking to her mother she shared her dream with her. Chelsi's mother was listening to her very carefully, when she finished her mother told her "Chelsi my dear daughter, I respect your dream and I respect your thoughts too, but being a traveler would not lead you anywhere in your career and will not make you capable enough in life as it has no scope, she also told her that for living you have to earn" by listening to all these words from her mother she was heart broken, at once she decided not to follow her dream but when she really thought about it she realized that it was her passion which she was dreaming it since long, she felt that if there is any chance or opportunity which she got to follow her dream she would not let it go at all. For few days, she did not even talk about this to her parents but while she was in a period of completing her school she started searching more about a traveler. She researched each and everything about that particular field and then she decided to join a course of travel and tourism. After she completed her school, she decided to go to best university of travel and tourism, at that point of time too her parents did not support her, instead they wanted her to become engineer or doctor. She used to fight everyday with her parents about the same topics, she used to get aggressive, she sometimes answered her parents back, but she never gave up upon her dream. One fine day she woke up in morning, and she was thinking as to why was she fighting with her parents? Why they were not able to understand about her dream? Why were they not able to understand about the passion, confidence and the dedication which she had about her dream? She thought for a while and she got her answer, the answer was just a communication between her and her parents. She thought that she was not able to make them understand about her views, her dream, her passion and about the scope which that career had, so she decided to speak to her mother again and this time she promised herself that she will make her mother understand about her dream and she will follow it passionately. She went to her mother excused herself from other people which were present at her home, and she had a conversation about the same. Her mother tried to listen to her and after all her conversation she apologized for her words which she had said earlier and she was ready to support her daughter. On the day she had conversation with her mother, she got a mail from a well reputed university for travel and tourism, the mail says "We are highly obliged to give this opportunity to you, to please come and give an entrance test and an interview so that we can shortlist your seat at our university" by reading this mail, Chelsi was excited and she jumped up and started dancing as she saw her dream come true, she saw herself as a successful traveler who is traveling whole world. She discussed the same thing with her mother and by seeing her Daughters happiness she was so happy and she proudly told her daughter to crack this interview and take admission in this particular college. She filled her entrance form and at that moment itself she started preparing for her entrance test and for her interview. Now the day came for her interview and test, firstly she gave her test and at the moment she completed her test she was confident enough that she would be selected for the same, then it was time for her to give interview, she gave her interview as well and after the interview she got surety that she will be selected. After interviews were done, the main head told them to disperse for the day and the results will be out in a day or so. She went home and waited for few days, and a list of students who were selected for that course came. She went to the same college to check results, after looking at the list for at least 5 to 6 times, she did not find her name in it. She was disappointed to see the list, she was disheartened from inside, she cried for a while but then again she was determine to try for the same again. She went home and researched about more colleges and applied for her course. After 1 week or so she got many proposal from colleges and she got many calls too for her course. She gave many interviews and entrance tests and she did not expect but this time she got selected in one of the finest colleges of travel and tourism. This time her life condition was high, she was excited, she was happy and she was determined and thrilled about the same. She went home and she shared this good news with her parents, her parents were too happy for her. Her parents were really proud of her and they wanted her to grow as much as she can.
