Many nights have passed, and still, I have not seen any. I have not seen any of those shooting stars who make wishes and dreams come true. There are times when I sit alone on a bench outside our house to catch a glimpse of a shooting star, but not one passes by my way. Do shooting stars choose on to whose wishes it may grant? Maybe not.
My friends tell me that the moment I see a shooting star, I should then utter my wishes and deepest aspirations in life. A shooting star can make dreams come true. I do not know why up until now I am unlucky to not have seen any. I envy those who have claimed they have. On a night where billions of stars light up the sky, I wish I could tell them to fall and become shooting stars, for me to see and grant my wishes, but I guess it is impossible , shooting stars are not genies nor are they humans, they can not make my wishes come true, can they?
Shooting stars are not only those that dart up in the dark skies and make wishes come true, but they may also be humans. The people who pushed me to the top and helped me pursue my dreams are my shooting stars. My loved ones, my friends, my parents and my teachers are my shooting stars. They are those who lit up my darkest skies, brought me my sunny days and stood with me in my cold winter nights.
My friends have a special place in my heart. They are the ones who make me laugh when I am sad, comfort me when I cry and support me in everything I do. Every time we students have to take our periodical tests, a simple message of “Good luck!” or “God bless you!” really strikes me, for it encourages me to do well in answering the test.
My parents and teachers who encourage me to do well in class and teach me the lessons I need to learn to get through life and to be successful are also one of my shooting stars. Without them who help me get to the top, I would not be what I am now.
And now that I have known and realize such, would I still wish to see a shooting star in the sky? Maybe I would still want to see, but what I was searching for was always in front of me.##
