I started the week off anonymous, not by choice but because I was conditioned to be so. We all were taught to be nobody. We think that we are going to make a name for ourselves when we are little: plan to be great and do great things. But the first thing that we learn when we are young is to not aim too high, know your limits and be wary of them.That is stupid. I don't want to believe I have limits. I want to start dreaming big before anyone tells me not to. A world without dreams is a world without truth. Is there someone that you sit next to in class and don't know there name? Who is your Mail Carrier? The person who fixes your car or gives you your coffee in the morning? Who is the bus driver you see everyday on your way to work or school? We don't know these people because we think they are anonymous just like us. I learned something recently from one of my heroes- the Doctor. What is amazing isn't our achievements or our grand accomplishments, but what is amazing is that there isn't a single person in the history of the world who wasn't important.
The world is full of wonderful and important people. I didn't want to be anonymous, I never thought I did. But I want to live in a world where people are taught to think they are unimportant and just one speck in a sea of specks. The world shouldn't be ruled by people who tell us we mean nothing, but the mean-nothings should be the ones ruling the world.
