As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me, now that I am older and wiser. I look at how God sees me．渐渐地我长大了，开始明白我的梦想为什么会位居第一，那是由于我内在某些东西的驱使。我从来没有培养和呵护过我的梦想，以致它慢慢地幻灭。我不期望它消失。但从我开始听到“你做不了”这些话的那天起，梦想便破灭了。当我最终从几年之久的梦中醒来的时候，我不能够勉强认可自己在野花丛中跳舞，我必须继续向舞台行进。我仍然时不时去湖边坐坐，也看着自己不同的倒影。小时候，我在意别人如何看我，现在我长大了，也更聪明了，我更在意的是上帝如何看我。
