MY FUTURE
A few years ago when I was in 8th grade, I worried a lot about my
future. Every day, I thought ‘What am I going to do when I leave
school?’ I didn’t feel excited about the future – I just felt very
scared. One reason was that at that time I found school difficult. I
usually studied hard and listened in class (well, I thought so), but
my teachers never seemed to be very happy with my work – or
with me. When I think back to those times now, I remember that
sometimes I didn’t concentrate very well and I also handed in work
too late. This went on for most of the year, but then near the end
of the year something happened. I suddenly knew what my dream job was. I love
animals and I decided that I wanted to become a vet! To do that I had to go to a good
university. And to go to a good university, I had to get good marks and do well in my
exams. From 9th grade onwards, I worked very hard every day in class. I studied for
hours at home and my parents even told me to work less! At the end of that year, I
won a prize for my good marks. My family were so proud of me and I felt great. But
then, I started to worry again. I thought ‘What will happen if I don’t get good results
next year?’ and ‘If I didn’t go to university, what would I do?’ Everyone told me that I
just had to do my best and to stop worrying. So that’s exactly what I did! I often think
back to 8th grade when I was so scared. Now I feel much more confident and I’m
looking forward to the future!
