Cory Morris Dream Deferment 9/20/15 Joe Linker
Deferment has a denotative meaning to keep putting something off to a later time. Taking deferment and placing it in the dream world and boy are we in trouble. Performance management and goal planning is the best way to pull yourself out of this long deferment. The connotative meaning often holds a much higher or a rougher value often considered a nightmare. This dangling dream not followed can eat your insides. I have a dream I need to pick up and mine is a passionate musical career.
I still play music occasionally and listen to music. There is much more I could be doing to perusing this deferred dream of a musical career. I wake up to this poster on my wall of a band that won a battle of the bands when I was 16. I have the talent or possibly had it in the past and need to heavily practice again. I keep telling myself pick up the bass man. Your childhood bass ghost is calling you.
This devotion

I was young when the career began and did not know what to do with it. The main focus of my life at the time was on my education and graduating high school. There were several times and multiple bands that I was a part of where we had fought over silly things. These goofy memories for some reason could be what held me back from perusing the dream later. This constant want or need of a dream can just destroy the body and the mind. Reflecting on the music and this dream caused me to pick up my bass. It actually hurts my fingers to play for long periods of time now. I will have to build up my callus again to play for longer times. Tapping into this deferment of my musical dream has motivated me to start playing again. I will have to motivate myself to first start practicing regularly and make several adjustments. Gathering old rocking buddies could be difficult before I can expect this dream to happen. Many of my buddies have kids and don’t play as much as

Each person has been taught to hope, to have a dream. I always shot for the stars; I wanted to be a princess, obviously that didn’t work out though. As every individual ages his or her aspirations become more realistic; I aspire to have a stable job and a loving family. Having dreams is an important part of everyone’s lives.
I have known my dream of performing the same movements that I had watched from my balcony seats when I was eleven years old. As the Rockettes completed
Music is a very recent thing that has changed my life. I have always had an interest for music, since I was young I would dream of playing the Alto Saxophone. My dream became a reality in Sixth Grade when I was able to pick up and learn an instrument. I ended up choosing the Tenor Saxophone because of its dark full sound. I progressed very quickly taking lessons from Jill Marasa, band director at Costa Catholic Academy, later that year I bought a Flute, and Clarinet.
If I knew that I would be away from home all day at a marching band competition on Saturday, then I would need to schedule time during the week and Sunday to work on projects or studying for tests. I could no longer procrastinate until the last minute, or I would end up getting only one or two hours of sleep. Because of marching band, I changed my habits of procrastination and transformed into a schedule-oriented
Unfortunately, my dreams disappeared as the announcement of no contact sports rang through the
Others might say not all dreams can be completed and they are just mere fantasies. Source E states, “Young adults, age 18 to 34, are most likely to feel the dream is unattainable, with 63% saying it's impossible.” Although this may be the case in some families, there is no denying that many people within the youth community have reached their goals. Many getting access to schools and growing in “different political persuasions and professions “ (source B).
Those people are wrong. First of all, “a recent study in the academic journal Social Forces has revealed that only 6 percent of adults ended up in the careers they dreamt about as kids” (Haltiwanger). Dreams just aren’t a realistic thing to be caught. On the extremely rare occasion that somebody does catch their dream, they hold on to it for dear life. Holding on to a dream is “like holding a fistful of sand: the tighter [someone holds their fingers] The emptier [their hand becomes]” (Woodard).
Walter Dean Myers wrote this story to inspire others. The author talks about how it is important to have a dream and how perseverance can help you get closer to that dream.

Make it into something significant, elemental, and profound. There is so much more to it! Dreams give meaning to life. They make it so much more worthwhile.
Final Draft We all have stories and memories tied to songs that have become a part of who are. Remember the violins playing in the background while watching a sad movie or the song that helped you through difficult times or the song you and your friends sang while attending a concert? Whether it’s on the television, the radio, in a movie, in the car, or at a sporting event, music is everywhere. Feeling the rhythm of music brings us so much joy and excitement but playing musical instrument is even more fulfilling because it has many benefits.
But there is no doubt in my mind that music is what I want to be involved in for the rest of my life. I have gotten this far, there is not any reason I can not continue to prosper and grow. Even just the other day, I was overwhelmingly stressed and I wanted nothing more than to drop what I was doing and transfer and move on to a completely new career choice. But I quickly gravitated away from that feeling.
By following up on this dream I found happiness and another one! Eventually me and Scout are gonna hunt down that weird old man my momma told be ‘bout and we is going to buy the cutest little child we can find! Then I’ma get my dream job. I am going to be the first happy clown!
To dream is to desire an achievement which seems unobtainable. Most everyone has trouble convincing themselves that their dreams are within reach. Jim Carrey once said, “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.” This is a result of allowing dreams to remain dreams and, instead, opting to take a more reliable path. In doing so, a sense of emptiness that never completely dies out is often developed.
Dreaming is a huge part of people’s lives. Dreams happen to everybody and are different to everybody. They tell a lot about a person’s life. Dreams are viewed differently by so many people. People have opinions on what makes dreams happen, what dreams are, and what they mean.
