DREAMER PROFILE

In your own words, what is a dream/dreamer?

Lately being inspired by President Elect Barack Obama, a dreamer is a person that has hope. In order to dream you have to hope because dreams normally come from desires. People wish and hope for their dreams to come true, so therefore a dreamer is hopeful.

Who is a role model in your life and how have they inspired you?

Jaslene from America’s Next Top Model. The first season she was on the show she was eliminated. But she came back a season later and won the title. That was very inspiring because it proves that you can do or be anything you want to be, when its your season.

DREAMER PROFILE

In your own words, what is a dream/dreamer?

There are two types of “dreamers,” an “active” and a “proactive” dreamer. An active dreamer is someone who spends quality time thinking about what they could be in life, or accomplishments they could see themselves possessing, but that individual only dreams, and takes no action. They do not actually take advantage of certain opportunities, or availabilities set before them. A proactive dreamer is one who sees themselves in various positions and knows what they can accomplish, but in the same token, they also take the necessary steps into making their dreams transform into a definite and true reality.

Who is a role model in your life and how have they inspired you?

My mother, Tracy Berry-Vance. She is my hero, and my best friend. She inspires me to be the best that I can be, and sets wonderful examples for my younger sister and myself. My mother decided to go back to school and obtain her Masters degree about four years ago, which showed me that she possessed great ambition, courage, patience, and perseverance. Her constant slogan was “If I can do it anybody can!” I look up to my mother in so many ways; I love her with all my heart.

Who is a role model in your life and how have they inspired you?

The person who inspires me the most is my father, Byron Johnson. One reason why my dad inspires me the most is because of everything I learn from him. Every minute I am around him I learn something new. Ever since I was a little boy my father worked a job to pay household bills. Sometimes two, three, and four jobs, just so my mother could be home to help me and my sister with our homework. Because of this, I learned to work for what I want in life. Therefore, I learned how to treat a woman. I would see my dad always treat my mother with the uttermost respect. Even the little things in life I learned from my father. Things that are being forgotten, like a man should hold the door open for a woman, or even let the woman sit in the passenger seat in an automobile. As little as they may seem, it is important that a man knows the customs and traditions of how a gentleman suppose to act. –> I know just how fortunate I am to have a father to teach me the things I need to know to be a better person and man.
