When Dreams Become Reality!
Ever wonder what it takes to make a dream reality? Ever thought to yourself… this is something that I want to take out of my head and put it into action?
I know that I have… I started a website, wanted to be a motivational speaker with impact, wanted to start a summer camp, wanted to own a summer camp, wanted to run a marathon (still working on that one) every dream I can think of I put through a series of questions and some stay in my head and cook a little longer while others come out and get tried. Do they all work? No… but all teach me something so that the next time I pull out a dream I am a little more apt to succeed.
At YLCC (my summer camp) we teach that dreams have incredible power and that young people should not be afraid of them. There is a long list of past campers and staff that have told me that it was at YLCC that they realized that they could make their dream happen.
One of those people is a former camper and now current staffer Kristina. She came to camp at the age of 13 I think and was always talking about being in the circus… crazy idea isn’t it. We encouraged her and supported her and then suddenly she was in Circus school in Montreal! Wow, she did it… this year she will graduate from the program and hopefully move onto incredible things. The great thing is that all of you probably have seen her or know someone who has! You see just a few weeks ago Kristina was invited to go to Italy to represent Canada… what sport? The closing ceremonies!! She is a German Wheel expert! Way to go Kristina… you turned your dream into a reality, can you!
Today’s picture is from Kristina and some fellow Canadians at the Olympics… she is the one wearing the YLCC swearhirt… I am so proud!
