Her friends at school kept laughing every time she spoke about her dreams for the future. They told her it would be better if she concentrated on her study and worked harder to learn at school. Sarah was really beautiful but her family was not very rich. Her family did not have a beach house or a modern car. Their car was 8 years old. In fact, she came from an average family. Her father was not rich. Her mother was not rich either but Sarah always dreamed about having lots and lots of money.
When Sarah finished high school, she went to university to study to become a nurse. At university, she met a handsome young man who did not come from a rich family. He did not have a house by the beach. He was smart and she liked him a lot. She always felt very happy every time that young man was around. Sarah fell in love with that young man and she decided to forget about her dreams of marrying someone who was really rich. When he asked her to marry him, she didn’t take much time to say yes. She decided that to be happy was much more important than to be rich. Sarah had big dreams to be rich and wealthy when she was young. Now she is older and knows how real life is like.
She always tells her friends that when she has children of her own, she will tell them one important lesson. It is nice to have dreams about the future but they need to work hard to make their dreams come true. Now when Sarah remembers what she used to say to her friends when she was young she has a big smile on her face.
