Can Sweet Dreams Become True?

Sir Norman is interested in a boy that sits at the most behind corner. He doesn't seem to be as energetic as others. He asks him about his name and his what he wants to be.

The boy doesn't move. He hides his head in fear by holding a book. Sir Norman understands his feelings. He tries to comfort the student. With a soft voice, he says,

"Hey, don't be pushed by the fears in your mind. Be led by your dreams in your heart. You know? If you let yourself diving into your fears to much, your life will be a limit. And once you conquered it, it'll become limitless," the boy completely touched by those words. It means so much for him. He stands up nervously and throw a speech,

"Hello, sir.. My..name is.. Akashi Izumi. I'm a transfer student from..Japan," says him. The teacher is so glad that he claps his hands for Izumi.

"Wow, you're a Japanese. Well, I do like watching anime when I was like ten-to-fifteen years old. Japan is also rich in technologies and robotics.That makes it one of the most famous country in the world. Alright, now tell us what you wanna be when you grow up, like a dream or an ambition," the teacher replies. A silence go through the atmosphere at that time. Izumi continue to speak,

"I.. I want to be a novelist so much! I.. I already wrote a two books. I've been dreaming of being a famous novel author one day. Do.. Do you think a person like me can catch up with my dream?" he's being insecure. He feels so shy after telling his dreams to everyone.

"Of course! What else could a nerd like you be? A celebrity? Impossible! Hahahaha!" a bunch of students at the back make fun of Izumi. He almost cry but Sir Norman taps his shoulders and says,

"No, you won't catch up with your dream," his reply makes all of the students especially Izumi in shock. Izumi begins to cry hard as he knows he shouldn't have told them. He really hates himself.

"Wait, wait, wait! I didn't mean that! I mean.. You won't catch up with your dream, UNLESS you work hard and believe in yourself!" he resumes his sentence. Again, Izumi's eyes begins to shine. He feels like he just got a new motivation to pursue on his goal.

The class monitor rises his hand. He speaks,

"Sir Norman, you are such a good motivational for us. My ambition is to be a surgery doctor. I want to master humans body and learn so many things about it. But, the problem is... I.. have hemophobia," stutterly speaks.

"What's hemophobia?" asks a girl. Sir Norman then pursue on speaking,

"You guys really are getting more knowledge today, huh?" he smirks.

"Hemophobia is a phobia when someone is fear of blood. The people who have hemophobia usually have been through traumatizing memory like a traumatic injury or too much blood loss," the students gulp in fear as if they are the one who have hemophobia.

"Oh, well. You're the class monitor, right? Mind telling me your name?" Sir Norman likes to go through his students especially when it is their first meeting.

"Not at all. Name's Aaron William. I'm grateful for being a helpful student for you, sir!" he smiles. After that, the class begins to get harmonize by all of them knowing each other. Their friendships as teacher and students are really amazing just in one day. This day must be sooo amazing!
