28.) Dream*
Standing before the elders that would decide his future, Spock found himself moments away from achieving his dream. It would be more logical to call it a goal, but his mother once told him everyone should have a dream. After learning that he and his father were his mother's dream come true, he decided to honor her by making a dream of his own a reality.
Yet as he listened as his mother was declared to be a weakness, Spock knew that his dream needed to change. His mother was not and would never be a weakness.
Embracing his human side, Spock very politely told the elders of the Vulcan Science Academy to go 'screw themselves' while rejecting their offer to join their ranks. He would find a new dream, and while he searched he would prove to the universe that his mother was not a weakness.
