BEFORE I DIE...

Hello there again! It's Gabriel!

So, if you guys have been keeping track with our Facebook  and Twitter platforms, you would have noticed the overall theme of dreams, aspirations and goals being present! For the past week, we've been asking the DMC students (if you still don't know what DMC stands for by now, I should probably clobber your head!) about what they haven't done, what want to do and what they need to do!

Here are just some of the funny responses/tweets that we got on Twitter!

It seems as though we have a lot of aspiring Pokemon trainers in DMC! 

Meanwhile on Facebook, we asked them about their dreams, aspirations and goals! Here are some of them!

"These are hard times for a dreamer," was a quote that really resonated with me when I saw it. 

It's really true, with the pressure of society and being successful, how many of us are actually brave enough to drop everything and pursue what we truly want in life?

I personally was really inspired by the lady (she's is currently my only favorite artist) who actually inspired us to talk about the ongoing theme on our social media platforms.

Her name is Candy Chang.

During the TedXYouth talk that I attended,(she wasn't present in person per say, but in video!) she addressed the audience(in the video) on a particular project that she did, a project entitled Before I Die, I Want To. 

And, instead of me trying to explain the immense beauty that this project has, I would rather let her explain it in her own words. The link to the video would be here!

From an abandoned and dilapidated space, to the wishes and dreams of the people in New Orleans, "Before I Die, I Want To.." brought a whole community closer and it inspired me to pursue my dreams of being an artist.  It just asks you, after you're gone, what do you want people to remember you by. It also dares you, dares you to live the life they way YOU want it.

If you are interested to know about Candy and more of her work, her official site is here!

To see more inspirational speakers like her, do register for SP's IMC+ at spimcplus.com or visit facebook.com/SP.IMCplus for more details! :)

Before I go, I just want to ask, what do YOU want to do before you die?

(See you at IMC+ hopefully!)

With love and anticipation,

Gabriel
