Back then, I wrote something called “20 Gold Dreams” in 2013, a list of what I hoped to achieve in the future. I was still a student, full of hope, and maybe a little too ambitious. But reading it now makes me smile. Some dreams happened faster, some slower, and some are still on their way.

In that list, I wrote things like “2013, be a leader in school,” “2016, pass from university,” and “2022, pass from university (final for Master’s Degree).”
Life took its own timeline. I actually finished my master’s earlier than that. But seeing how close it matches what really happened feels amazing, as if my younger self somehow knew the direction I was heading.

I also wrote “2017, make some programs,” and now I realize that came true in unexpected ways. I helped build education programs, joined meaningful projects, and started initiatives that once only existed in my imagination.

What touched me most was how innocent the dreams were. I didn’t think too much about how or when. I just believed that someday, I would get there. Reading it now reminds me that faith and persistence really do matter.

Looking back, I feel proud. Not because everything went perfectly, but because I never stopped walking toward those dreams. The path changed, but the spirit stayed the same.

If I dream it, I will fight for it.

Here is the full writing (I closed some, let’s see in the future):
