Ever since, I?ve wondered why dreams die. I remember my oldest child?s “graduation” from kindergarten. She and her classmates, sporting construction-paper mortarboards and armed with an unsinkable sense of possibility and wonder, stood on tiptoe behind a microphone and told their adoring parents, videocams rolling, what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Summary of Text A?Summary of Text AAs a college teacher, the author finds that there is lack of passion in college students because of various pressures on them. The first pressure is the financial pressure from student loans. Secondly, the pressure from the desire of getting a safe, well-paid job after graduation makes children’s dreams die. It is a sad fact that many students come to college to get a job rather than an education. Finally, the pressure from competitive parenting makes children lose themselves, never discovering who they really are. Fortunately, the passion has not disappeared completely since an increasing number of students spend time feeding their passion for social justice by working with the poor in many different places.After Reading1.
