This week we are going to talk about those times when you feel you can't make your dreams come true. Maybe, because you don't feel sure about yourself or maybe because you don't have people around to support you.
I have felt like this many times in my life. But I have learned that sometimes you have to be a little stubborn and keep fighting, and that you are going to find people who will help you....but sometimes they are not who you expect, often life surprises you with strangers that become friends :)
Let's watch a Pantene TV Ad from Thailand about a deaf girl whose dream is playing violin...
Activity:
1) What do you think about the story of the video?
2) Tell us your story about how you have fought for your own dreams!
Activity open from August 27th to September 10th
REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR FULL NAME AND LEVEL
AT THE END OF YOUR ANSWER :)
ACTIVITY CLOSED
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTERESTING ANSWERS!

1.The story of the video is very emotional but is true. People are very cruel and sometimes make you lose the confidence in yourself. I liked the story and the music, I was surprised to see that it was Pantene.
2. The most important thing is to believe in your dreams if you can deliver. If you dream and believe anything is possible.
This is the real and very good history is a sensitive history that I remember my dreams beacuse often I dream a lot and I do not act because I am scared to crash with the reality but since today I will fight my dreams and I wont leave get back like the girl in the video

Gorgeous!! this video makes me feel butterflies inside my heart, because this kind of thinks show people that no matters if nobody believe in yourself, or think that your dreams are crazy and will never come true, the important thing is that you and only you believe is possible. Dreams are food for human spirit, and all we have to fight for them, you have to be disciplined and step by step build the wings for fly, if you don't sleep or you can´t have a lot of fun, is just a little sacrifice compared with the satisfaction that you will get.

When you have a dream, the most important thing is to believe in yourself, believe in angels that we meet along the way even without wings and white dress. Never give up despite the difficulties, because there is no battle strength and maturity is the result of many wounds.

I think this story is very strong and unfortunately on some occasions we passed over the people regardless of the capabilities that are truly, this girl is very brave and that despite all the obstacles that had managed to realize his dream of playing the violin with the soul.
I believe that to achieve our dreams we must be persistent and never look back always with our heads held high no matter how many times fail

It's a story somewhat cruel but very real, often truncate our dreams by thinking that other people have more skills than ours, the first step in achieving your dreams is to have confidence in ourselves, thinking that give your abilities to achieve that and much more, without leaving aside the reality of the situation.

I think that's how it is in real life as is as shown in the video, there are always bad people in the way but depends on you if you drop yourself or get up to show them what you're worth no matter what may say.
I always pursue my dreams, as in everything there are desepciones or tripping and these sometimes discourage you but in the end you know that if you have very clear what you want you will get it in the most unexpected moment.

Life is a journey of dreams, it is incredible to see that despite the obstacles that were presented to the girl I keep dreaming and persevere to meet what he liked to do.
Life is full of obstacles, which become problems if we do not have the mental capacity to deal with them. if we do not persevere to fulfill our dreams we will never meet.
thanks teacher for that story really made me think.

Good, the video is very emotional ,sometimes, we don't use all energy for get our goals. Many persons with disabilities, they put all their efforts ,because they love their labor and plotted goals.
The only disability, is not fighting for your goals.
my experience is based in my work, I work in mcd, And i love my job but the first time, I was mediocre and I did not plotted goals, I renounced. afterward, I returned to my job and plot my goals because I love my job, rigth now I'm manager of mcd+

According to the video, dreams are achievable if we want to, no impossible goals.Regarding my personal life, I always hope that fewer people are what help us and give us the courage to make the decision to achieve our dreams
This video shows what to do in life to fight for our dreams to understand the barriers that we create ourselves and we can always count on the support of someone.

I think that we have to fight for our dreams, no matter what people think, just close the eyes to see the way forward every day. Remember, In that way we will find people who will helps us, they will teach us the true way and the skills but there will be negative people too.
Sometimes I'm sad because I don't have the time for practice my skills, My girlfriend helps me and gives me strength to go on. However I must be patient to wait for that time. Every day when I wake up, I think in my dreams, the work that I would like to have in the future, my family and my health. When I'm not tired I practice digital animation until 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm, this is really my passion or when I don't have the enough time I stop my other boring activities. I like to watch the work from the artists because they inspire me.

The teaching video leaves us, that we should not set by what we say and we do the rest, the important thing is to believe in the ability we have to fight for our dreams.
I've been a constant person, a fighter in what I want and sleep, I have not allowed any person damaged my dreams. I can say that so far I've gotten what I dreamed and worked hard for it.

1- the story is very sad because not everything is perfect, a person who died helped her fulfill her dream, besides that was humiliated and ridiculed, but justice is divine, could win the contest.
2- The way to fulfill my dreams is to be healthy and working, I dream to know other countries and have a happy old age in which I do not worry about money.
KAREN ROVAYO NIVEL V 626NC
The video, more than a video, I think, is a really story of our lives. Lives that want to be something, someone in this world, but not like a normal person who has the tools and all capacity to do it, but who has the desire to do it.
We have to believe in ourselves, in our capacities and make it real.
n my life always I have been bendecido thanks to my parents who me rest on everything, But though I have the support of them always there are dreams and intentions that to fulfill. When I feel defeated and see that I cannot do the things and to believe that I do not sit down caps of finishing them. I think and say to win or to die in the attempt. If I win I fulfilled my aim but if I die at least try it and I knew that so difficult age for my. Likewise for when it turns it to trying I will know in that it fails and to be able to expire with my intention without falling down in the same mistakes.

“You don´t know what you have until you lose”, sometimes you are complaining and you are saying that you can´t do anything for fear or laziness. This is a great example of life, when there is a disability like the deaf girl; she keeps fighting and shows her great talent. Disability becomes an ability to develop all the things that she proposed to herself to develop her talent and make her dreams come true.
I am a dreamer passionate about Cine, I always wanted to make a great movies and I think that someday my dream come true I´m going to be a movie director only if I propose me.

ABOUT VIDEO
About the Pantene´s video I know that many people around the world think that there are people who are not able to makes their dreams come true, most of the time because they are frustrated people who could not do it by themselves, that´s why they do not want that other people get theirs. It is called “Envy”; therefore they judge to other even without knowing them because they just look on the weaknesses, limitations or mistakes from others, just by an impression and do not worried to know their personality, spirit, feelings, talent and skills, so if individualism believe that they are right, they will do everything possible so you fall down and cannot overcome it, through destructive criticism and selfish actions. People like that have to be ignored but at the same time they need help to fill in their empty hearts. Despite that, people who have dreams have to be secure in themselves, believe in their skills, talent, in the gifts that God has placed in them, knowing that all they want, they can still achieve being close to Him. When people are secure in themselves and Know who are close supporting them with love, as God, family and good friends, changes the way of thinking, they are renewed, fight and get all what they want in life, so it seems impossible.
ABOUT ME
First of all, I have to say that my dreams are not my dreams, because my dreams become the purposes that God has for my life, the one who decides where I should be, what I should do, what I should have and who I should be like a person is God, because his will always will be good, pleasing and perfect for those who believe in Him, many times the things or goals that I want to achieve in my live do not suit me, that´s why I just have to trust in Him and be like he wants me to be and do in the world, with the gifts that he gives me, whether in art, in music, in social services, education, etc., in all the fields of development but with a purpose. The other material and emotional things that I have achieved and those which I want to achieve in my life are added by God, my professional and labor development, my property, my desire to travel, to be a successful person, etc, but all the things I have achieved and which I hope to get in my life have been achieved with effort, perseverance, fighting, insisting, preparing me and changing my way of thinking and acting, correcting my mistakes every day, trying to be a better person, trusting in God, in myself, in my family and in the people who are close to me, listening just wise advices and not those of people who are wrong and which can hurt me.
Is true that we decided what can happen and what goals we can reach in our lives, but this depends on where we want to be in the future and of the good or bad choices that we make now.

The people usually see the differences like a physical aspect, but greater different is inside us, in our limitations an how you see other person, everybody is able to do everything that they want, is just a something that you have inside, something that move you to make the things with love and passion, that video is a great story and show how you can make your dreams come true, always passion and compromise win, is important to see people like us with the same rights and conditions because everybody is equal, we never have to think that someone cannot do it because is sure that is more able than us.
To make my dreams come true I always put my dreams in the hands of God because is sure that He knows what is better for me, everything that I do, I do it with love because is the principal tool to reach my goals, I have to be constant, service with my talent to others, see the world with hope and faith, I always must have a great reason that take me to do it, I do not think just in myself, because I think the great happiness is when you do something for someone and that person can be happy. If we work with love, passion, compromise and dedication is the better tool to achieve our dreams.

I think the video shows exactly how a person can meet the goals they set, even if you have physical limitations are well.
This video changed the thinking of anyone who sees it as this girl but had its limitations, and not only that but also a partner who just wants to stand out of their way for her to fulfill her dreams no.
I think this video makes us reflect and think "I can do what I propose, and I assure you that if" you just have to never lose heart and think of one way or another to move them forward.
HI!! I LIKE THE STORY BUT I THINK THE SPOT COULD BE USED FOR ANOTHER SPONSOR LIKE A FUNTATION OR WEREVER NOT FOR PANTHENE BECAUSE THE END IS SO EMPTY.

What do you think about the video?
It is a video that lets us know the value of perseverance, as humans often we surrender to any difficult situation, it is as if we wanted everything to be easy. This video shows us that we have to fight from the beginning to an end, not necessarily everything in life has to be easy, even more about dreams.
How did you find your dream?
In my life I have had many dreams of which I have been able to make some and not others. Right now my biggest dream I'm starting to make but not all, this requires first of God's help, my desire to fight and not pay me to come to any situation and most importantly I need the support of my family. The most important thing is to fulfill the dreams be confident that if it can not be overcome by the things or situations that are more difficult because everything has a solution.

When you really want to do anything you can do it, if you trust in yourself, is your decision, sometimes is hard but not impossible...
Maybe in the larg way you find persons that don´t belive you, but no problem you just need to believe in you, no matter your physical limitations, the problem is when you have the mental limitations, if you want to fly you can imagine the wings and do it!!

But on many occasions it is a motivation for many people and show that they can get ahead and succeed and achieve objectives and goals than anyone expected of them.
2. Well I think that in a country like Colombia of things more
