Dreams of success Although success means different things to different people, most of us are bound by the common desire to achieve this elusive, sometimes intan- gible, accomplishment. In school, our aspirations include avoiding gymnastics in gym, surviving that first period on the driving range and being chosen for All-State Orches- tra or Chorus. We cross our fingers during an audi- tion for a part in the play, during the election of officers for a club, and as the boy or girl we ask out takes his or ’’the desire of glory clings even to the best men longer than any other pas- sion.” her time answering. We have dreams of glory for our lives after graduation, too. One of us might drive the world’s fastest racing car in the Indy 500. Another might be a pilot for the projected space shuttle to the moon. And still others may become presidents of large corporations. Surviving our years here and receiv- ing that diploma are hopes almost all of us have. Once we succeed in these, our yearnings can take us just about anywhere.

Shared dreams Social cliques are prevalent through- out society and high school is certainly no exception. Some cliques are obvi- ous and seem rather exclusive; others are less clearly delineated. It isn’t nearly as important as many people think that we have to be ac- cepted by the “in group.” Finding kids with whom we have common interests and ambitions is what really matters. Whether we link up with one or ten kids is immaterial so long as we have some one we can trust. But I, being poor, have only my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” We share dreams with these friends. One group may wish for acceptance to a prestigious Ivy League college. An- other may put in long hours of practice to compete for athletic scholarships. Still others may become apprentices and save enough money to open busi- nesses. These aren’t stereotypes, but dreams we share with our peers.
