1 I Have a Dream Sophomore Students ~ 2018

2 I have a dream that there will be peace on the earth. I have a dream that we can all accept people s differences, even if we may not agree with them. I have a dream that there will be no fear of a war. I have a dream that kids will put down their phones, ipads, laptops, etc. and go talk to people face to face (not a screen). I have a dream that the world can be nice, but we as the people have to start that change together.

3 I have a dream, and that dream is to end World Hunger and have World Peace. My dream is to have everyone living in a house and have at least three meals a day. My dream is to keep everyone safe with shelter, and to have a roof over your head when you sleep. My dream is to make everyone part of one society, making this world a better place.

4 I have a blissful dream for the future. I have a dream that everyone on this planet treats each other with kindness and joy, and loves each other unconditionally. I dream that violence is not a thing anymore, keeping everyone from being happy. I have a dream that no matter what you do, you re loved in this world by everybody. I hope that someday soon in the world that this day will come. I hope my dream turns into a reality.

5 My dream speech is that no matter what race, gender, or sexuality, everyone would be treated equally. Everybody will have the same amount of rights, no matter what. This country needs everyone to be treated equally and fairly. There will be more hope and less fighting. Everyone should be able to come together and say what is right.

6 I want there to be no mass shootings and school shooting. That we have laws to prevent any deaths that resulted from a shooting. No one should be scared that they will get shot while going somewhere, especially a student worried that they will be shot at school. We should protect people and make sure that there are no more shootings.

7 I want there to be no segregation at all, and for everyone to be more accepting of all cultures. African Americans are people too, but we used to treat them like garbage. I am not sure how you can treat another human being so poorly. I hope everyone can see past skin color.

8 My dream for our country s future is one with no more violence, specifically hate crimes. It isn t fair that people are discriminated against for something they were born as, and can t change. People should not be terrorized because of skin color, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. I hope that in the future we can learn to love everyone or at least respect them. I would also like there to actually be a future for us.

9 My dream is to see us come together and stop the violence. Stop innocent people from getting hurt.

10 My dream is a future of world peace. I want a future where everyone speaks the same language. I want a future with no more war or fear of others. I want a future where you are free from birth to death. I want a future that all can enjoy, live, and love life.

11 I have a dream that we will not be forced to use political correctness to talk to people. I have a dream that our country will become healthier with food, and everyday habits like drugs and alcohol. I have a dream that our country continues to fund Science to better educate the American people.

12 I believe that this country has the potential to be something great. I have reasons to believe that in the future, racism and sexism will fade away through generations. With the right kind of leadership, our nation could turn into something good. Eventually, we will live in an equal world. With all the technology and advancements, hopefully we will move things forward.

13 I have a dream that we will take better care of our planet. People need to clean up the streets, lakes, oceans, and sidewalks. We need to stop burning fossil fuels. We need a more efficient way to supply water to houses and businesses. People are treating the Earth like a big landfill. All of this pollution is not good for the environment.

14 I Have a Dream Sophomore Students ~ 2018

15 I wish that everybody could get along with each other. I wish that people weren t judged by their race or sexual orientation, but by who they are as a person. I wish that there wasn t such a gap between the rich and the poor. I wish that people didn t have to worry about guns in places like school and church. I wish that there was more respect being shown throughout the country.

16 My dream for our future is for everyone to be honest and not keep secrets. There is a lot that the government is hiding from us. My dream for the future is that we can preserve gas and oil, so that global warming will stop. My dream is for everyone to be treated equally and be accepted by everyone.

17 We need to stop all the shootings, especially in schools. My dream is for world peace, no war or fighting with each other. There are no homeless people, and everyone has a home. No more racism. Everyone is on the same side.

18 I want bullying to stop. Maybe then, people will stop wanting to hurt others. People will love one another for who they are, no one is perfect.

19 I want people of this country to come together. Not just as races, but come together as Americans. Building our country is the top priority right now. We need to stay together as a country to progress. If you re not going anywhere, I m not going anywhere.

20 I want to see everyone caring for each other, and being nice to each other. The world is still not equal, although we have come a long way. I want everyone to be happy and live a good life. Lastly, my dream is to stop all the violence we have in this world.

21 Martin Luther King Jr. said, I have a dream, that one day my kids won t be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character. In this country, we need to stop gun violence. Kids are losing their lives. Racism is getting worse. Those two problems are one out of a million of our problems. We need to stop going against each other, and come together to help our country. Things won t get better by arguing.

22 My dream for the future of our country is for it to be a safer place, gun reform (regulate, not ban), fix global warming, and end racism. I dream of Silicone Valley becoming less corrupt as the United States enters a golden age of technology.

23 My dream for the United States is that one day we will be a peaceful and free country. We will all have what we need to survive, and no one person will be better than the next. We will realize that having money doesn t make you a better person than someone who doesn t. We won t go to war. In my dream, we are all happy. No one can bring our moods down, because we respect each other.

24 I have a dream that one day there will not be war. I have a dream that there will be no hate in the world. I have a dream that every race will love one another. Fighting hate with hate only creates more hate. The world will not end by natural causes, but will end if we don t learn to love one another.

25 I have a dream that people will stop going off of feelings, and go by facts. We as a country will make decisions based on truth, statistics, facts, and common sense. Everyone s rights will not taken away because of a few bad incidents. People will go by facts, not by biased mainstream media. Everyone will agree, or agree to disagree, instead of discrediting anyone with an opposing opinion.
