			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thankful when someone once told me that &#8220;when you surround yourself with people who never want to advance in life, you will be exactly like them&#8221;. &#8220;You have to surround yourself with people who have a plan in life, in other words with people who are &#8220;a life&#8221;, because when one has no dreams at all he\she is a dead person&#8221;.</p>
<p>I have asked myself several times who I am, why I am here and why just during this time and I quickly realised that it is me who decides who I am, why I am here, where I want to go and why I &#8216;m doing it. Yet I have to keep in mind that it is not every dream that come to past, some do, but other never will.</p>
<div class="mceTemp">On the other hand this can not hinder me from keeping on dreaming, because it is obvious that I want to stay &#8220;a life&#8221; and do not want &#8220;to die&#8221;. I have understood that everything I want in life begins in the frame of the dreams and the imaginations that I allowed myself to have. To do so I have to surround myself with people who have dreams and also do I have to fight my biggest enemies &#8211; fear and low-self-esteem, because they hinder me from going forward.</div>
<p>Every person is a champion to me and that includes me, being the only one beside my &#8220;siblings&#8221; to win the course to my mother&#8217;s egg in her womb, I would otherwise not be alive today. Unfortunately some champions realise their dreams and other never do.</p>
<blockquote><p>The most amazing thing with this position is that I m a little fish, but still I m a fish, because a fish is a fish&#8230;.</p></blockquote>
<p>In Sweden, before I came to Web Communication unit, everybody &#8211; especially my friends and relatives &#8211; was so amazed by the fact that I will come to the EP, they did not recognize the fact that I was about to be just a simple <em>stagiaire</em> &#8211; the smaller fish in the sea. The most amazing thing with this position is that I&#8217;m a little fish, but still I&#8217;m a fish, because a fish is a fish&#8230;.</p>
<div id="attachment_2009" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 423px"><a href="http://davidbuckley.net/DB/HistoryMakers/HM-GE-Truck1968_files/US_Ft_Eustis_23.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2009   " title="US_Ft_Eustis_23" src="http://www.ep-webeditors.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/US_Ft_Eustis_23.jpg" alt="Makers" width="413" height="322" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Never underestimate my imaginations and dreams, they can become true.</p></div>
<p>Thinking about this unit, I can see that  everyone is a champion even here. They have realised their dreams by working at the EP. I m happy to surround myself with these history-makers, and I can hear myself thinking: &#8220;if they did it, so can I&#8221;. I often remind myself of the fact that my dreams are not suppose to die just because I&#8217;m a simple trainee. I suppose that the web-com-history-makers probably had dreams about one day being able to work at the European parliament and realised it, but I can not stop thinking that they maybe have other dreams that they would want to see realised. However, are they now my inspiration, they are making me comprehend that my dreams can also be true if I just never forget about them. They are the ones that keep me a life.</p>
<p><strong>Great dreams often lead you to other discoveries</strong></p>
<p>The greatest thing about this dreams-theory is that, by pursuing them I know that I will realise other even greater things that I had not in mind when I started dreaming my dreams. The fact is that I wanted to be a journalist since 2 years of age and when I was admitted to the programme of media and communication it was for me a great moment.</p>
<p>However, after all most 2 years, the other student and I were told about the fact that it was included in the programme to study something else under a period of 1 year. I was really disappointed and decided to try with International Relations and quickly realised that it was an even greater experience than media, it was a non-but-come-true-dream, because I afterwards fall so deep in love with it. The whole world seems suddenly to be open to me, nothing could stop me now, I learned about thing that always wanted to know, such as the foreign policy of the US for instance&#8230;</p>
<p>It is hard sometimes to believe in oneself when every thing around seems so dark, but I know that even when the night never seems to end, the day will always come and the sun will always shine.</p>
<p>Soon I will be like these history-makers that I found myself surrounded with. I just have to accept the fact that I am at this the moment a simple trainee in this unit, even so I believe that I&#8217;m a person that others will want to be surrounded with, because I&#8217;m a big dreamer and have a lot of crazy but probably interesting ideas in my mind. I believe that together we can help each other&#8217;s dreams come to pass.</p>
<p>A history-maker does not have to study history at a PhD level, he can be someone like Ikea&#8217;s founder who started is business by repairing furniture that he founded abandoned on the street. Today IKEA is one of the most visited furniture&#8217;s companies in the whole world.</p>
