I had a Dream

My friend told me a story, the same story that everyone else has told me. "I am going to get a college degree so I can go and accomplish someone else's dream!" is that true, if that is what this degree is for, I am in the wrong place; I say this because I have a dream of my own to fulfill. A real dream, a child's dream, one that  guides me.

I had a dream that one day, we might meet and no longer be strangers because in the end, we will all greet our creator the same.

I had a dream that equality is not viewed as some ideology or romanticism, but the minimum standard.

I had a dream that one day my nieces can look up in the mirror, stand proud, unshaken by the phrase "I am beautiful and nothing’s wrong with me."

I had a dream that man will choose the right way, not the fast way, the cheap way or the way least from harm.

I had a dream that men of true character will not bow, under the tumult of today, understanding that all men bend but, we must never break.

I had a dream that we the people, will no longer be cheapened, that we the people will no longer be belittled that we the people will stand up, and say " Not One Man, NOR ALL men can put a price on the soul."

   But I woke up, and realized that this degree, puts meaning to our lives so on it,my faith for humanities dies 

because a piece of paper judges who we are, not the content of our lives.
