I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting (#MC) on behalf of Konica Minolta. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Being a former elementary and middle school teacher, I know how important it is for kids to dream and dream BIG! My own kids as well are aspiring to be a teacher and a marine biologist. Some dreams do come true, but others get altered throughout the education process and finding where in reality is a good fit for a lifetime profession. I will do everything I can to help my kids reach their dreams. Konica Minolta, an industry leader in Business Technologies, especially Production Printing, wants to celebrate enhancing children’s imaginations and encouraging them to dream big! They are running a “Giving Shape to Ideas” initiative.

As a part of this initiative, Konica Minolta created a “Dream Printer,” where children in a New York state park could approach a unique printer and share with it what they most wanted to be when they grow up. Why was it so unique? The kids could write and tell the printer what they want to be when they grow up, and it “printed out” a caricature of them dressed as that profession. I know my own kids would have loved to see a picture of themselves with their dreams coming true! Seeing something on paper makes the dream seem even more of an eventual reality. It makes kids aspire to dream big and try hard for what they want in life. Watch the video below and share it with your friends. It’s awesome and inspiring to see kids getting so excited! Dreams do come true!
