Tiger Lin
I want to become a teacher when I grow up. I like to teach others and I also like to take care of kids. I hope I can be a teacher that everyone loves. A teacher should be patient and try to let students understand what you teach them. A teacher shouldn’t be bossy. This is the type of teacher that I wish to be, and this is my dream.
To become a teacher, I have to get good grades. So, I need to study hard to achieve my dream. To be a teacher, I want to get into National Taiwan Normal University, but right now, I will need to watch how teachers teach, and try my best to have better grades. Finally, a teacher should be a student's role model, so I need to be a better person too.
I can do it! Be a good teacher!

Ting-En Liao
To go to a great school after sixth grade is my dream now. I want to find out what I am good at, and also have a great, lovely family of my own. My dad is an interior designer. He sometimes takes me to construction sites where he works, or places that he decorated. Some of the places look hi-tech-ish, and some modern. I am always proud of my dad, so I want to follow in his footsteps. If I become an interior designer, I can make new friends by helping others decorate beautiful houses or buildings. I can also use the money I make to help people in need, just like my dad used to do. While learning to be an interior designer, I can also learn how to draw, become better at communication, public speaking, and problem-solving skills. I have found out that I am good at drawing, which will be beneficial to pursue my dream. I’m sure there will be more difficult problems awaiting me, but I won’t give up.

I have always dreamed of being a veterinarian, to take care of pets. I want animals to be happy and stay healthy, and I want to help injured animals recover so they can return to where they live.
Becoming a veterinarian can’t be achieved by just talking about it, it requires real action. I hope I can help all animals and pets around the world, and develop new medicine and treatments to cure animal diseases. By doing this I hope I can create a better life for animals and pets.
If I want to become a veterinarian, I need to love animals and understand them, so I can do a good job taking care of them. Although I’m not a veterinarian now, there are simple actions I can take that all veterinarians do - taking care of animals. And, I will keep on learning and moving toward the goal of becoming a veterinarian. When I grow up, I will become a professional veterinarian!

Alvin Lee
Ever since I was younger, I have had a dream of making a lot of money. If I want to make a lot of money, then I need to have a good job, which requires having good grades. So every day I work hard, hoping to get a good score. I want to work at Google, and be a great programmer. I have started to learn computer languages, including Python, C, C+, C++, Java, etc. When I learn all of them in the future. I want to create a game that the whole world likes. As I was daydreaming, I remembered that there are children who are the same age as me, but they can’t sleep well or eat well. I decided that I will make a lot of money in the future, and I will donate some money to support poor families, so they can eat well, sleep well, and their children will not grow up without a dream, but have a wonderful life.

My dream is to become an NBA player in the future. I hope to stand on the court and enjoy the cheers and applause of the fans, but I think this is not an easy thing. There are 15 players in a team, and there are 30 teams in the league, so there are 400 people in total, but there are 7.7 billion people in the world. It is very difficult to stand out among such people. I want to have the passing ability of Paul, the vision of Nash, the speed of Wade, and the ability to score like Kobe. I want to become a shining superstar in the NBA. I am also interested in horse riding, so my other dream is to represent Taiwan in the Olympic Games like Chen Shaoman. In order to achieve my dream, I do 90 push ups every day to exercise my physical strength and lung capacity. I will also go to the horse farm for training, and stay there too. Because our horse farm has a swimming pool, I will also arrange a swimming coach to help me train after riding the horse. Through this training, I can also smoothly rise to “black hat level 1” at our school’s swimming program.

I like math, so I want to become a mathematician. I also like basketball, so maybe one day I can play in the Taiwanese Basketball League. These are the things that I like to do, but after working on the CyberFair project, I'm thinking about becoming a doctor. "If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap; if you want to be happy for a day, go fishing; if you want to be happy for a year, inherit a fortune; if you want to be happy for a lifetime, help others. Helping others makes me happy, and it helps make others' lives better. I hope that I can be a good doctor!

I hope that when I grow up, I can do my best to help poor children like the X5 Foundation always does.
I often read on the news that there are children who do not grow up in a good environment. They cannot focus on studying, and they have to help their parents with work or take care of their siblings. In comparison, I think we are very lucky to study in Kang Chiao. While we are often thinking about which new trendy item to buy, there may be children younger than us who are worrying about what to do with their next meal. Therefore, I have made up my mind that when I grow up, I want to share my childhood happiness with more children, by helping children in remote areas to have daily supplies, and at the same time donate money for them to go to school without concerns.
Right now, I may not have the ability to make money, so I can’t help them. The only thing I can do is to study hard, get a good job in the future, and return kindness to more people in our society who really need help.

I’ve always admired how astronauts can fly freely in space. I’m also impressed with the strong power of rockets that can send human beings to the moon, send rovers on mars and also machines outside of our solar system. So I have always been interested in exploring the world outside of our Earth, the world of the unknown. Ever since I was little, I wanted to know about our solar system. I want to learn about the unknowns in space, but also learn about our moon. I also want to become an astronaut, make a rocket, or make my own massive space station, to let all the astronauts live there. So, I read many books about outer space, the solar system, and rockets. I even play games about rockets. There, this is my dream, to explore the unknown!

My dream is to become a designer. I love to draw. Although I’m not very good yet, it can help me to relieve stress.
My mom always told me that drawing is bad, and it’s such a waste of time. She said I should become a doctor and make a lot of money. However, I don't think so. I believe if I keep doing work that I hate, it will give me a lot of stress and I won't be happy. I look forward to the world of art, so I can draw what I like, freely. When I am drawing, it's like walking into another world. Becoming a professional artist can be very hard, and I am very scared that I will not have enough money. Besides studying drawing, I will also need a lot of money to pay for art lessons and buy art supplies. Happiness cannot be bought by money, but without money, it is really hard to achieve one’s dream. However, even though the image of my future still looks vague, I believe it will be all about art. It may change, too. Who knows?

My dream is to become a professional basketball player in Taiwan, or in the US’ NBA (National Basketball Association). It's not easy to become a professional basketball player. First of all, you have to spend a lot of time developing skills. As an Asian person born in Taiwan, it’s already more difficult to join the league. Besides, due to physical strength, muscle strength and average height of an Asian person, I am at a disadvantage, so the chances of actually entering the NBA are slim and challenging. On the bright side, there are still many professional basketball associations in Taiwan, so I can set my goal towards them!
Some people may say dreaming is not practical, it’s better to find a job that makes money. In my opinion, how much money does a person really need? I believe that no matter how difficult my dream is to achieve, or how many people tell me I should quit, I should just be myself and live my own life. No matter what, I won’t waste my life with lots of regrets.
