As teenagers, you have many dreams. Do you ever try to make your dream come true? Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge.
“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. If you think in this way, it will stop you from getting your dream come true,” the book says. In fact, everyone can make his or her dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

Monty Robert’s father’s job was to train horses. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to pay for food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a horse farm.
When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write on a paper about his dream. He wrote a sevenpage paper. He wanted to have a horse farm one day. He even drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.
The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with the words “See me after class”. So the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an ‘F’?” The teacher said, “This dream will not come true for a young boy like you. You need a lot of money to own a horse farm. Yon have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a simpler dream, I will give you a good grade.”
After school he thought hard about it. At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the ‘F’ and I’ll keep my dream.”
