As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small, you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?

Follow Your heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing (实现) your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

We have all heard the saying, "It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving, though, can be just as good. Sometimes gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.

As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer.

Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.

Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.

Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.

Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.

These are just few examples— visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your mom or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?

Once you volunteer, you will quickly learn giving has its own rewards (回报). You won't get paid, but the feeling you get from helping others is much more special than getting money. Give it try. You won't be disappointed (失望的).
