If you do, that is awesome! However, if you do not or if you know someone who doesn’t, here is why you should dream big:

For many of you who know me personally, you know I graduated in May, 2014, with a Master’s Degree in Broadcast Journalism. At my graduation party, I received a lot of gifts (thanks to everyone)! One of these gifts included a card with a caption: “’If you can dream it, you can do it’– Walt Disney.20140707_134157-1

The caption immediately reminded me about the period I felt the desire to become a Journalist. Mind you, at that time, I was enrolled as a “pre-med” undergraduate student on my way to becoming a doctor someday. A “Doctor-to-be” becomes a Journalist? Unheard of! How is that possible? Moreover, with my Nigerian background, that was/is unacceptable. As someone who is of Nigerian descent we are told that we had to be a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer.

Moving forward to my graduation day, it occurred to me that I was actually getting the degree of my dreams! Walt Disney could not have said it better! With hard work and determination, “if you can dream it, you can do it.”
