The aim of the site is to allow people to anonymously type and openly discuss their life's dreams and ambitions. After they type in their dream, it gets sent to a volunteer who will support and encourage them to go accomplish that dream. This will not only give the user motivation and confidence through the support they are receiving, but it will also allow them to find exactly what they want to do with their life through the writing process.  Visit site
