I Believe That Anything Can Become Into Reality

I Believe

I believe that anything can become into reality. The dreams, the visions, the wishes… all of those types of things can come true. I personally have told myself over and over “If you truly want something, you will get it.” I forgot to tell myself about the challenges that may bring you down. Those kinds of challenges that come along the way which make the dreams, the visions, and the wishes you genuinely desire seem impossible to achieve. Prove to others and more importantly, yourself that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
The reason that I believe anything can be realistic is because my project helped me see and understand this well. My goal was to create a symbolic whirligig that can relate to others around me and myself. The experience that I will gain from this is to feel somewhat relevantly close to what Brent felt while making his first whirligig. I remember the first day when I started working on my project. I had it all planned out and was ready to get started. Originally, my dad questioned why it was shaped in just some rectangular platform. I told him that I don’t know and that it will be easier to make it in its rectangular glory. Then he brought up ideas for other shapes like circles, triangles, and hexagons. I immediately began to change the entire drawing by taking out its contents and transferring it into a pyramid. I told him my perception of everything leading to the highest peak of happiness and that is the reason why a pyramid is so symbolic. So we went through with the new blue print and started to cut the wood the very next day. After that, I stained it with Sedona Red. This is the point where I began to realize that the multiple lines on a piece of paper can really come to life. My vision of a personal whirligig has just came true.
I truly do believe that anything can become true or real. Just like any other child, I’ve always wanted to meet my favorite Disney character. I’ve always loved Goofy with his humorous clumsiness and interaction with Donald. The first time I ever met Goofy was when I was about three and it was pretty interesting. Goofy accidentally bumped into me and knocked me down to the floor, though it wasn’t entirely his fault since I was behind him trying to cut in front of people. Despite of this accident, I still met my favorite Disney character with his personal clumsiness. The first time I ever went to Lake Tahoe was also significant to me personally. Little did I know at this point in time I was about to accomplish a childhood dream. There was a scene that was will always be remembered in the movie A Walk to Remember, and how the main characters are at two places at once. It was a brilliant concept of achieving this seemingly impossible power. But in the movie, Landon takes Jamie to the state border between North Carolina and Virginia. I told myself I want to do that, but it’s hard to accomplish it when you’re in Hawaii and there is only technically water between the mainland and not an actual border. In 2007, my family and I decided to go to Lake Tahoe for an overnight visit with my Papa Hiro and Mama Mary. They were my mom’s best friends parents, though my Aunty Donna, who was their daughter, loss to a battle with breast cancer a few years earlier. The old couple is so humble and heart-warming that it made me feel that this unfamiliar territory is home. Once we were settled in, we all agreed to eat dinner at this restaurant up the road. It was weird because right across from it was a casino and I never seen a casino in California before. I didn’t think that Lake Tahoe was that in-land, but I was amazed that we are now in Nevada. Afterwards, when we got back into the car I saw the welcome to California sign. There was no line to dictate where each state is. But I can truly say to others that I was in two places at once, even though it was just for a split second.
In this world, anything is possible. There are so many opportunities, gifts, and capabilities that anyone can achieve. Just believe in yourself and then you’re half way there. Ignore those who stand in your way or who pose as a “brick wall”. And now that I think about it, I did not know how to make a whirligig, but yet there it is standing tall in the wind. All it takes is just a little pixie dust and you can fly… the possibilities are endless, so take advantage of them.
