Dreams do come true

I never realized it until now that I have that one of my dreams have finally come true. I never realized it until I went out with an old friend of mine.

She was a highschool friend of mine, a member of our choral group, which I haven't seen in a long time. Finally, we got to meet again and I showed her the a copy of DC Kids magazine (the magazine where I write). That is the only time I realized that my dreams have finally come true. I am a writer and I have achieved what some of the people in my highschool can only dream of becoming.

I know I don't get paid much to write. But getting published is really the real trick to it. You can write (oh, and I mean one can really write something good) but it really is hard to get something published. It's just my luck that I have a friend who introduced me to this editor. And I'm really happy that he did. Now I can clearly say that I write for a living.

Honestly, I wonder what the reaction of my old high school teachers were when they saw the magazine I lent to my friend. She said that she would be showing it to the my old school because they really wonder what has happened to their alumi.

I was never that popular in school. The only reason they know me there was because of my surname (my siblings before me had a great reputation there) and because I was known to have the highest singing voice. But most of the time, I usually keep to myself (a loner by nature). I do have a feeling that my teachers never did see any great potential in me. Some of them saw the popular group "SAWASHO" as the people they can be proud of. I'm sure they never expect me to be someone. So, finding out that they despise the former popular group came as a shock to me and they were wondering what has been happening to me right now. Never have I expected my former teachers to remember a loner like me. I was always hiding behind everyone and supporting everyone else there.

Now, realization hit me as I see three of my articles have already been shown and two of them are on their way to be published and a couple of more on the writing board, I finally see that indeed I am a writer. I can actually put this profession in my resume and I have the articles to prove it. One of my dreams finally came true. A publish work and people who reads it. =)

It was a shock already that my cousin texted me telling me that they have already read my article. Now my teachers saw it and I await their criticism. I wonder how they reacted?

I am already a writer. I'm really happy with that achievement. One dream became a reality. Now, to actually write something that can be published as a book. That is a new challenge for me. =)
