FAMOUS DREAMS OF ME!
“Oh darling,”
a voice said to me.
“Yes who’s there,”
I said aloud to myself.
“Me darling, your boyfriend
Mick.”
“Oh yeah, Mick can you make
me some breakfast please,”
I said.
“Yes dear,”
said Mick firmly.
“Wake up”,
said my sister Kim.
“Uh,”
I said softly. “It’s lunch time plus you have one hour to
get ready for Jeff’s birthday.
Hello I am Michelle
Catherine Holloway, I am 12 years old, I have a mum, a dad,
four brothers & sister: Nathan; Jeffery; Kim; Phillip;
Michelle (me); Stephen (all in that order)
I live in Mt.
Pritchard
I go to All Saints Catholic Girls College & I’m in year
seven.
I play tennis & I’ve played
for six years & my dream is to become a professional tennis
player. Yeah laugh all you want. It’s probably silly but I
don’t care what you say because I have a lot of talent even
my coaches say that. Over the six years I have had nine
coaches & played at two different parks
Bigge
Park I still play at
Brenan Park
any way
I have to get ready for
Feff’s birthday.
I am going to wear a pair
of blue flare jeans & a blue halter neck top plus a pair of
Adidas casual joggers. “MICHELLE,” Called my mother. “Get
down here NOW!” “Uh y-e-s mum,” “Where is my mobile
phone,” “Where you left it in the big bowl on the wooden
cabinet in the lounge room,” “Thank-you dear.” As you
guessed I danced all night until one o’clock
in the morning then I had to go home because I had a really
bad stitch for dancing for so long & because I had got a
stomach bug. I had a wonderful dream about my so-called
future well me, Michelle Holloway a professional tennis
player. World’s No. 3 becoming world’s No. 1 taking over
Serena Williams. No. 1 – in singles & No. 1-in doubles
with Jennifer Capriati along with men’s No 1- Lleyton Hewitt
& No. 1 – in doubles with Patrick Rafter.
“WOOH!” said someone from
the crowd at the tennis grounds. “I LOVE YOU MICHELLE,”
said a happy voice. “I love all of you, you are the best
you are the reason why tennis players go on to show the
world that each & every country is a good place & are good
people to be friends with,” I said with pride & joy. “GO
M-I-C-H-E-L-L-E.” “W-O-O-H.” I played a good game and I
won 6-2, 7-5, 6-1. I versed Jelena Dokic she’s a very good
& talented player plus a very nice person once you get to
know her.
And over the years I have
met Patrick Rafter, Lleyton Hewitt, Jennifer Capriati,
martina Hingus, Mark Philloupsis, Pete Sampras & much, much
more.
I woke up to go to the
toilet then got back to my wonderful dream I signed a few
autographs & posters then went back to my split leveled
house where I live with my husband Aaron & our two little
children, a boy named Lesane & a girl named Madelene.
I go to training every day
for two and a half – three and a half hours. I went to
pre-school – primary – high school – college plus I am
religious.
“Hey I am Lesane & here’s a
poem from my mum’s poem book-
Written with a pen,
Slealed with a kiss,
If you’re my friend please
answer this
Are we friends or are we
not
You told me once but I
forgot
So tell me now and tell me
true
So that I can say I am here
for you
Of all the friends I’ve
ever met you’re the one I wont forget
And if I die before you do
I’ll go to heaven and wait for you.”
“Here’s another one for all
of you people – are you a star because to me you are.”
“Lesane get out of mum’s
fake dream,” says Madelene.
I start to cry as my dreams
go by I wished to be a professional tennis player but I just
turned out to be a fake. I wish, I wish it were so true &
all my dreams could come true. Go away all who come near
don’t need your comfort for I have no dream left to share.
I dream this dream every
night, just for it to come true would be a delight family’s
support all the way I’ll be just like a real professional
tennis player although you can’t give up dreams just because
of someone else & what they say even if it gets to you just
try to ignore them says mum but what if they live with you.
Am I going mental I am
talking to myself. No don’t let it get to you it’s just a
dream WAKE-UP MICHELLE!!!
Well you’ve heard my dream
now laugh it up have a good time & do you think I care I was
little then but I am not little now I believed in myself
like most people should. I got a good education believed I
could make it made it so far till I grew up I am not that
old now to realize now I should of kept my dream going. It
meant the world to me but now it’s ancient history.
I am thirty-five now & I do
have children named Lesane & Madelene, I am married to
Aaron & I live in a split leveled house. Most of my dream
had come true except the part I mostly loved being a
professional tennis player. I still do train & it does
bring back memories but it’s what I love that pulls me
through. I still dream that very same dream every single
night & as for me I am a hairdresser one of my other
dreams. I always loved my hair & still do but I used to get
frustrated on how to wear my hair & when I had a good idea
it never turned out right but you’ll have to read about that
in another one of my books.
