Replies Stupid lad Posted at 12:57 am on July 19, 2006 u can easily pursue and follow ur dream while in college...but first u`ll have 2 be more clear abt wht u have actually dreamt for...be focessed on it..dont let ur mind divert 2 some other flashy things..u`ll surely get success if u remain focessed on one dream...so best of luck.. Flow Morphia Slow Posted at 6:00 pm on June 30, 2006 Hey maybe those people that complimented your dancing skills saw great potential in you.  That doesn't mean you were at the professional stage yet.  You need to keep working at it, don't give up easily, man. lunardream Posted at 9:26 am on June 27, 2006 While my dream isn't performance, college is helping me to achieve my dream of getting a good career. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do, but I know my degree is going to help me. There are plenty of colleges with performance programs and maybe you should try one if you want to be more competitive in the future. Going to a school with a good program will help you make advances towards your dream and likely increase your shot of making it. spacemac Posted at 9:20 am on June 27, 2006 i'm following my dream and i'm into the part with many obstacles.. but so far, everything seems to hold.. my advice: go to college.. it gives you more opportunities to improve and hopefully fulfill the dream that you want sluna85 Posted at 7:35 pm on June 26, 2006 I'm trying to follow my dream and finding it dificult.  But I'm trying to to rush myself into things right now I'm siting back and obsorbing the colledge scene while I decide how to go about things.  But you can't give up after one audicion, no one would be where they were if they did that.  If you think your bad at something then work harder.  It's true you can't always trust what people say about you but you can trust what's in your heart. Ciderdude Posted at 4:41 pm on June 26, 2006 College will give you a lot of resources and put you in touch with a lot of new people. Just make sure you're really careful about picking the right college that will help you develop your talents. It's completely feasible to do college and accomplish your dream. I have seen many people do it. dreedfull lover Posted at 9:13 am on June 26, 2006 i think its an understatement when people say dont aim high because they are hipicraties they arnt hthe ones accullay doing the goal so yea follow your drams nice.... ncm Posted at 1:21 am on May 19, 2006 You can go to college and also follow your dream. After finishing your college, you chose between professional work or your dream. that will bee your choice. RememberTheName Posted at 11:58 am on May 1, 2006 The statement "follow your talent" will get you so much further than "follow your dream." If you truly believe that you have all the talent and then some to make it in a rock band, then you have a chance. Don't waste your time doing something that you want to do, but honestly aren't good enough at because you probably won't make it. I know I'm not really answering your question but I just wanted to say that. Good luck!! :) All 9 previous replies displayed.
