The Dreamer
Dreams are beautiful. They go beyond your imagination and create a world so special that you start living in it. I was a dreamer once, and still
am I today. I still have the same dream that I had as a young boy. The problem is that I grew, but my dream did not. I always wanted to be an
artist. I love the smooth texture of canvas and the colors, shades, and lines that give life to what seems to be a lifeless picture.
My dream began in a boring math class. I never liked numbers, as they never made any sense to me. For me, they never spoke a word. I started
making ducks out of Ss and watermelons out of Os before the math teacher caught me! The first time, Mr. Potter warned me. But I could hardly
sit through his classes. He caught me drawing once again in his class and that was it. In those days, many adults believed that painters and
artists were dropouts who could not find any job. My parents were called. Mr. Potter told them that I would fail miserably if I were to take up the
arts. This idea upset my parents more than me. My father was a respected professional, and he expected me to become like him one day. He
never understood why I could see ducks where others saw 5s. I tried explaining it to him, but I guess he did not understand it.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.

by 1880, germany had more rail lines than great britain and russia.
