You’re still up?
I couldn’t sleep.
Me, neither. What’s wrong?
Everything.
Tell me. What’ the matter?
You know what dad always says” Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
I want to believe that. I want to believe I can do anything if I try hard enough. That’s why I set goals and make plans. I’m trying to reach my dreams.
Your dream?
I’ve never told this to anyone. I want to become a lawyer.
Really? Cool.
And a TV news caster and make documentary films.
That’s a lot but wow!
This year everything’s going wrong. I’ve started to doubt myself.
You know what I think. I’ll never be a rocket scientist no matter how hard I try.
Ken…

Dad says we should reach for the starts.
I say keep your feet on the ground.
My dream’s stupid.
No! Your dream’s wonderful. I’m talking about myself.



I’d be surprised if I got an interview.

Hey, Roxy. How’s the job hunting going?
Hi, dad. Let me just finish typing this.
Oh, sorry.
It’s okay. I’m done. Yeah, I’ve applied to three places today. One is at a resort hotel.
A part time job at a resort?
Yes. I’d be surprised if I got an interview, though. Lots of students are applying.
What would you do there?
Bed making and cleaning. It sounds interesting.
How’s the pay?
Not so bad.

I’d be surprised if I got an interview.
It’s unlikely that he hasn’t noticed.
He’s unlikely to have forgotten.
It’s doubtful that I’ll be selected.
There’s little chance that this can be repaired.
There’s little chance that this can be repaired.
There’s not much hope of fixing a damage.
He hasn’t got a prayer of succeeding.
He doesn’t have a prayer of succeeding.

I’d be surprised if Phill came. He’s not a big fan of social events.
It’s doubtful that I’ll be able to finish this meal. There’s too much food.
There’s not much hope of him passing a class. He missed almost half the lectures.
