MY DREAM JOB -
HAIRDRESSER

Hairdresser, now more


often called hair stylist is a
person who is professionally
engaged in laying hairstyles,
according to a customer. They
first advise clients to choose the
right hairstyle for their face
shape,
match colours or propose
appropriate modifications.
In many modern, upscale hair salons, hair washing is combined with a number of
additional services such as a massage of the head, the use of appropriate cleaning agents, etc.
Hairdressers must be careful and focused on the work when some clients come and
want to have their hair cut, as they wish to. One wrong move of scissors can make a change
and a customer will not be pleased. There is a lot of responsibility in such situations, e.g. a
customer may not come to the salon anymore.
From a good hairdresser it is required first and foremost hairdressing skills, also
imagination, aesthetic sense as well as good manners and cleanliness during work. It is
important to respect clients’ decisions and listen to their instructions and wishes. Sometimes
hairdressers have to deal with capricious customers.
The advantages of this profession is that you meet a lot of people, you can satisfy
your professional passions, and it is a well-paid job. If you have a fixed client, it brings great
satisfaction that for many years one person regularly visits the salon and is always satisfied
with the service. If clients feel that someone devotes their time and maximum interest – they
return. Also, a lot depends on hairdressers, on their attitude, the way of talking etc. Women
pay attention to the decor, the music, they feel good in bright rooms where they can relax
and forget about everyday life.

MY DREAM JOB- DANCER

Dance isn’t just a job. This is


something more, like a passion, sport,
theater, feelings. In this work you can
express yourself and throw away all bad
feelings. I can say more - you make money
with pleasure.
Now I am going to introduce some
good and bad sides of this profession.
Firstly - those “good ones”. New
relationships. In this business you can
meet a lot of new people and make friends due to progressive work in different places.
Secondly - travels.As a dancer you have to know that workshops won’t come to you.
You have to love travelling. During trips you can get to know some new countries, cultures
and much more.
No boredom. Every day is different. Nobody knows what can happen. Life on the
stage is wild and unpredictable.
Fun. Instead of sitting all day in the office you can: dance, jump, run or conduct
lessons.
No complexes.I think all dancers feel good in their bodies because of continuous
trainings. Want or not, they look incredible with their perfect silhouettes.
Bad sides - danger. Dance is a really dangerous sport. All exercises are both easy and
difficult at the same time. One bad step and your leg or arm can be broken. In an ordinary
work, the risk isn’t so high because of its sedentary character and lack of physical activity.
Thus the risk of injury is very low. However, while dancing, having an injury is like losing
your job for half of a year.
Limited free time.Most of the dancers haven’t got much time for friends, family and
relaxation because of everyday trainings. Places of work are usually far away from
hometown, so dancers rarely come back home.
I am not going to stop thinking about this job, regardless of dangers. More: I would
like to recommend this job because of arguments which were introduced above. I see more
advantages than disadvantages and all I want to do, is just try to make my dream real.

MY DREAM JOB- LAWYER

Among many different professions I was always excited about being a lawyer. I can't
explain why it intrigued me. I like watching films about mysterious things which have to be
solved. For me the prosecutor's job is the best.
Prosecutors collect evidence against perpetrators. In their work, they have got
a lot of duties such us:
- They arrive at the place of crime
- They analyze evidence and they find out details of crime
- They examine earwitnesses, eyewitnesses and suspect people
- They cooperate with the police in the case of crime and they take investigation to
prepare a bill of indictment
- Finally they must prove fault of offenders
It seems to be hard work, don't you think so? Although there are lots of difficult
duties, it's very interesting. You never know what the next day may bring in this job. Maybe
it is the reason why I'm interested in it. There's no monotony and boredom but there is a
very big responsibility for human's fates. What if a prosecutor indicts an innocent person?
To avoid such situations, prosecutors must be very committed to their work. All time they
have to know more and more about the case, because like Francis Bacon said:
"Knowledge is nothing else thana picture of true". According to this sentence,
prosecutors must solve all mysteries and intellectualize every possibility which can influence
the final effect of the case. I hope that I will find enough determination in myself and I won't
give up although this occupation includes plenty of duties and responsibilities.

MY DREAM JOB- BANKER

My dream job is a banker. Banker


is a person who manages and runs a bank.
He is usually an owner of the bank which
he runs. Not everyone can become a
banker. Such a person must fulfil a few
requirements. Bankers must be kind and
honest for clients. They must be helpful and be able to do negotiations for credit
terms, profitable for both clients and a bank. They also must be smart to predict exchange
rates. This job has a lot of advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
- Elastic time of work. It is your bank, you work when you want and when you have
to. You are the boss and nobody can tell you what you should do.
- High salary. You earn the money which you choose. You are the boss, it is your
bank.
- Banker is a profession which is not exhausting. It is typical white collar work.
Bankers only fill the documents and meet important people who can increase their profits or
influences.
Disadvantages:
-You start from the post of the client service assistant and this is a long way to
become a banker
- In the beginning your salary is not high
-You must invest your own funds to found your own bank or to develop a bank of
your boss.
I would like to be a banker. I find this work profitable, easy and quite safe. For the
salary I could keep my family. I hope that after graduating from a good university and years
of practice I will be able to become a real banker.

MY DREAM JOB- HORSE RIDER

The topic which I am going to


raise, relates to my dream job. The
occupation which I have been involved in
and I would like to do in the future is a
professional horseback riding.
First of all, I have been interested in horses for three years. Someone told me that I
have got a talent and a magic touch to horses. I spent all last summer in a stable. I got up
early and took care of horses. Actually, I did not need any help – I could do everything by
myself. I have never been scared. Also, I have never thought about quitting my passion.
Another reason is the fact that although it is sometimes a very difficult and
exhausting job, I never give up. I learn really fast and I am usually complacent.
On the other hand, my future is not sure. For every rider it is important to have a
good horse. Nowadays, mine is injured, but I hope everything will be OK and in the close
future I will take part in jumping competitions. These are first steps to be a professional
horseback rider.
What is more, I model myself on famous riders like Jarosław Skrzyczyński or Janne-
Friederike Meyer. They take part in most important worldwide jumping competitions. I
want to be like them.
In fact, riders’ life is very dangerous – they mount young horses and teach them how
to jump. Horses are big and unpredictable animals, so little misunderstanding can end up
with an accident.
However, I am interested in horses psychology, too. It is amazing what people can do
with a powerful animal if they know its language. I have basic knowledge about this
workmanship, but I am still learning and I am going to go on.
To sum up, I am sure what I want to do in the future. Adventures which I will
experience with horses will be amazing, dangerous and successful – exactly what I want.

MY DREAM JOB- DOCTOR

I have recently thought what job I would like to have in the future. It was a tough
question but I came to an answer. I want to become a doctor. It has got a lot of advantages
over other jobs.
First of all, doctor is a profession which will always be needed. Even if everything
gets computerized, doctors will not be replaced by anything. It is due to all different kinds of
diseases and illnesses. Moreover, people will always get sick or ill. We can't change it but a
doctor can help it.
Secondly, a feeling that you can help others in need is wonderful. There can't be
nothing better than that. You can give them
a prescription for a drug that will kill their pain or stop their problem.
On the other hand, becoming a doctor requires long studies and a lot of hard work.
Some surgeons, for instance, have to stand long hours by the operation table doing an
operation. But at the end of the day they can say to themselves "well, I've done a great job
today. If I hadn’t helped the patient, he or she would die". It also makes you very responsible
for all you do. But I think that I can manage it.
All in all, being a doctor would, without a doubt, be my dream job.

MY DREAM JOB- TOP GEAR PRESENTER

The job of a Top Gear Presenter has been my dream job since childhood. I have
always wanted to do something different and be original. Also, Top Gear is my favourite TV
program.
If I become a Top Gear presenter I will earn a lot of money. Thanks to it, I can afford
many things: I can go on holidays where I want, I can live in a big house and my family will
be rich.
Secondly, I have always been interested in fast cars. In this job I can test modern
luxury cars and thanks to it I can have more knowledge in this subject.
Another good thing about this job is that I can develop my knowledge of English
because I will have to talk in English with many people and do interviews.
Disadvantage of this job is that it is time–consuming. I will not have a lot of time for
my all family and my friends because I will be busy in my dream job.
The thing is that I would have to move to Great Britain. I would have to leave my
whole family in Poland and I would miss them a lot.
When I think of good and bad things about this job I still think
I would like to do it because I can’t imagine myself doing something different and it is
my dream job.

MY DREAM JOB- BANKER

In this essay I am going to write about my dream, future job. I want to be


a banker. Why would I like to be a banker? Is it a good job for me? I’m thinking
about it all the time. Can it be interesting enough?
The job of a banker requires patience and stress-resistance. Bankers must have the
ability to count very well. In this job people often work under pressure. They cannot make
any mistakes; if they make one, it might bring serious consequences for both customers and
bankers. It is all about money, like in the James Bond films. People who work in a bank must
know law very well but they do not have to be lawyers.
I have chosen that job not only because of money. I am sure that when working in a
bank I would not get bored. I would have my own office with a leather seat and a wooden
desk. However, it can be also challenging for me, when I make
a mistake something bad may happen.
I prefer exciting jobs which are quite unexpected to ordinary jobs. I cannot get bored.

MY DREAM JOB- PHOTOGRAPHER

My dream job is to be a photographer. Why? Well, there are many advantages


connected which this occupation.
First of all, I love taking photos of landscapes, people, animals, nature and cities.
Next, photographers meet amazing people and celebrities, he or she cooperates with famous
actors, models, musicians etc. I like travelling and the photographers often visit beautiful
places. They stay in five-star hotels with wonderful views. What’s more, in this job you have
a well-equipped studio where you take clear photos.
Finally the photographer earns a lot of money and has a good contact with famous
people.
Each job has also disadvantages. Photographer haven’t got much free time. I would
be very busy all the time working long hours and sometimes at night. Photographers must
often leave home for a long time and they miss their family for sure.
Although there are some disadvantages, I would like to be
a photographer. Taking photos is my hobby, I do it all the time.

MY DREAM JOB- PLASTIC SERGEON

In my essay I would like to describe my dream job. After graduation I would like to
become a plastic surgeon.
To become a plastic surgeon I should graduate from
a medical university. In my opinion, the best medical school is the Oxford
University in Great Britain. Doctors have a very serious and responsible job. They
must study and practise a lot. After many years they can operate on a human body.
I'm interested in helping people especially when they don't feel well in their bodies. I
dream about my own beauty clinique like this of doctor Ambroziak. He has got his own TV
programme where he shows how to help people.
Like every job, plastic surgery has advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that a doctor can make a person happy and better looking. If I
become a surgeon my dreams will come true. I could help someone to start a „second life“
with a more beautiful face and a slimmer figure.
The bad thing is that a doctor can make a mistake. The result of an operation can ruin
sombody‘s life. You can look worse than before an operation.
I would also like to become a professional dancer. I have practised dancing since I was
a child. This is my hobby. I would like to win an S class in both styles. I would like to train
in Krzyszfof Flinick and Marta Potocka-Flinick Dance School in London.
I hope that my dreams will come true. I know that there is
a lot of learning and practising in front of me but I'm sure it is worth doing it.

MY DREAM JOB- DRESSMAKER

For a few years I have been


thinking about a job, which I would like to
have in the future. One of the proposals is
a job of a dressmaker. In this dissertation
I am going to enunciate pluses and
minuses of this profession.
First of all, in order to become a dressmaker it is necessary to graduate from high
school in this profile and pass a professional exam. Then it is possible to get the rank of the
journeyman or the champion. Afterwords, it is worth attending courses and institutes so as
to develop tailor’s abilities. Trainees get to know new methods of the sewing and modern
stitches.
How to become a good dressmaker? Women who want to do this job should be very
accurate and creative. They must be open to offers of customers. Women ought to know a lot
about fashion and offer good advice. Every dressmaker should be also patient.
What are advantages and disadvantages of this profession? This job is creative and
helps to develop imagination. On the other hand, it is monotonous. Although this work isn’t
time-consuming and is not a rat race, it may contribute to some health complaints. Through
the long-standing work it is possible to damage the spine or the eyesight. However, a sewer
can get hurt every day. This job develops interests and passions. But the disadvantage is that
it requires constant, supplementary courses.
The decent dressmaker should use sewing machines of the best quality, different
lengths of needles, as well as colour threads. Also, other important tools include: a measure, a
chalk or soap and a pillow for needles.
How much does a dressmaker earn? In a private institution the payment amounts
from 1200 to 1500 PLN. However, in a bigger enterprise, possibilities are greater and they
earn there about 2000PLN.
When I was a small girl I created a lot of cloths for my dolls. My mother often helped
me with them. She taught me to stitch which was a useful lesson of technology. My mother
is an authority for me. She regularly sews a lot of cloths for me. A few months ago we
created together a black, knee-length skirt. Last week we went to the shop of fabrics because
we are going to sew a new skirt from netting.
In my opinion the job of a dressmaker has some pluses and minuses. At the moment I
cannot decide what I will choose.
But I think it is a good profession.

MY DREAM JOB- WORKER
IN A CHOCOLATE FACTORY

Have you ever imagined working


in a chocolate factory? This work
seems to be interesting, but is it
really? Let's see!
While doing this job you have to
remember that it is crucial to work
in sanitary and clean conditions. In
some measure you are responsible
for a product quality, so work in a
chocolate factory obligates you to take care of occupational safety and health.
Sometimes, when you see something too often, you can feel disgust or you can feel a
bigger appetite and desire to eat chocolate.
This work may not be constant. Numbers of machines augment. It may turn out that
machines will replace people and then your work won't be necessary.
In this job you must do the same thing all the time - pack chocolate, put them in
cartons and the like.
After all, this job is different from other jobs. Your friends will react more positively
when you say you work in a chocolate factory than when you say you work in a shop.
While working in a chocolate factory you can get some souvenirs/presents in the
shape of chocolate.
You don't need lots of education, because you must only operate machines, lay
cartons on stillages, reclaim chocolates from tapes.
You can deepen your knowledge about chocolate, both about its taste and production.
This must be interesting!
This job is well-paid, you work from eight to ten hours and hourly you can make
more or less eleven PLN.
To sum up all arguments, this job has its own enchantment. I think it's definitely
worth trying! Work in such a factory will certainly be more interesting than work in an
ordinary shop.

MY DREAM JOB -
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR IN
FAMILY BUSINESS

In this essay I’m going to


write something about my dream
job. I’ll be a Technical Director in
family business.
I think it’s a good option for me
and my parents. I have a person
who can always help me. This’s my
dad. He has told me something
about this job. If I learn a lot, I’ll be educated and successful. My dad has got many technical
books. I remember that there were many patterns, digits and formulas. When dad showed
me hundreds of Autocad’s draws and pictures, I didn’t know what to say. Honestly, after that
I had a lot of doubts to be a technical director.
When I was a child, I wanted to be a shop assistant or a princess who lives in a big
castle. When I was 4 or 5 years old I really wanted to work at a checkout. Now I’m 15 and I
have a new dream. I have drawn my plan for the future. That’s my theoretical plan.
Everything can change. Maybe I’ll live in another country. I don’t know. But at this moment,
I’d like to do this.
And now, seriously. I’m going to tell history of a product. Before a wooden pallet is
given to a client, it must be properly prepared. Now I’m going to enumerate steps of
preparing a wooden pallet. You must prepare a project, send it to a customer, realize plan,
turn pallets around, vet humidity, pack and send them to a Chapman.
You must tend and examine the process all the time. Each work has shortcomings.
My dad is always very tired. He sleeps 5 hours a day and is very nervous. On the other side
he’s got possibility to work at home, what is very comfortable. Sometimes he needs to go to a
factory to check a shipping process. I’m going to study in London or New York, but I know,
that’s very expensive. A new country, new people, new language and new culture. That’s my
dream. I hope that
I will have my own company with wooden pallets and metal containers, like my dad.
My parents believe in me. That’s very important to me. They say: “we love you whatever
happens, remember”. Dad helps me to work on my project. I think, experience is the name
that everyone gives to his mistakes. So, that’s whyI improve my experience. So far, it’s all my
current plan.

MY DREAM JOB- INTERIOR DESIGNER

Have you ever imagined your life in the future? Would you like to be an interior
designer? This job, like many others, can have some disadvantages, but it is very creative.
My dream job is an interior designer. I would like to be an architect/interior designer
because I like planning, painting and drawing. I have wanted to be an interior designer for
many years. When I was a younger child I always dreamt about decorating my room;
however, my parents did not accept my design-versions. The majority of architects work at
home and have flexible working hours. Architects are satisfied when they see effects of their
work. Also, they have got a lot of contact with people while discussing details of the future
room or house.
However, this profession has also got some disadvantages. People may not like your
design projects and you have to be ready and willing to correct or change them. An architect
is also a difficult occupation. People who want to perform this job must work hard, be
creative and imaginative. They have to be open to other people. Architects must know the
history of Art very well. Interior designers have to graduate from the Art School. Then, they
have to get a master’s degree. After that, they can work as an architect.
All in all, architects have to be perfectionists. A lot of people do not fell creative and
logical enough to do this job. I will try hard to become an architect in the future. It is my big
ambition.

Paulina Matyla

MY DREAM JOB- TRAVELLER

I would like to be a traveller, because I would be able to visit different countries and
get to know their culture. Maybe it’s not a typical job, because it doesn’t make money, but to
earn money I can guide tourists to the most interesting places in the world and gain from it.
In my life I have visited a few interesting European countries, and I lived in one
of them. I was in one African country, and I really enjoyed that trip. I am really curious
about people and their live in far west countries like the United States of America, Canada or
Brazil. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to this region of the world yet. If I am a traveler, it will
be possible. I enjoy meeting new people and spending time with them. I think I’m not a
loner, and I don’t like being alone so it would be hard for me to find myself in wilderness.
Also, I don’t want to see Antarctica or Greenland, because winter all year long is nothing
interesting. Once I was exposed to cold climate for a longer time, because I lived in Norway.
However, in the region where I stayed in the summer we could go sightseeing and not freeze
to death. I am going to see crowds in Tokyo and the Great Wall of China, I will visit
Thailand and take a peek at New Zealand. Maybe I will fly to the kangaroos’ country, see
Uluru and more interesting places in Australia. Drink tea in India and ride around on an
elephant. Walk in the rainforest in the Democratic Republic of Congo and mount a camel in
Egypt, too.
My aim is to see the most amazing places in the world to fulfill my dreams.
Maybe I won’t be a traveller, but I’ll try to visit all of the countries after all. It’s not easy, for
sure, but I’ll try, I promise.

MY DREAM JOB- ACTRESS

I have always been interested in theater.


When I was a child, I used to recite poems
on my kitchen table. I was probably four
years old.
My mom discovered that I was quite good
at it. When I was five I learnt to read. I
started to learn all children poems by
heart. I still remember some of them.
„The Locomotive” by Julian Tuwim or
„The Slouch” by Jan Brzechwa. These are my favourite ones.
When I was nine years old, I fell in love with music. I used to sing and dance. I loved
it. I wanted to sing all the time and everywhere. That was my biggest dream: to become a
singer.
But then, things changed. I went to middle school and I was ashamed of my voice. I
thought that it sounded like cockcrow.
But I fell in love with poetry. I started to take part in recitation competitions. And
sometimes I was successful. That gave me power to work harder.
Now my biggest dream is to become an actress.
I know that it is a very difficult profession. If you want to be successful, you have to
work really hard. You have to be the best. You always have to win. But the prize is bigger
than you think. It is fame, money and fans. And that is the next difficulty. You are not the
only one. Everyone wants to be someone special, someone who is over others.
And I ask myself every day: „Do I want to be one of them?”
Acting is a profession for arrogant people. And that is true. Everyone knows about
it. So why do I want to be an actress so badly? Do I want to change myself?
No.
There are other reasons. Acting gives me something special. I can’t explain it
clearly. When I am on stage, nothing else matters. There is only me.
It gives you incredible possibilities. You can be whoever you want to be.
If you impersonate a princess, you can feel like a princess. If you play the part of a
witch, you can feel like a witch.
There are no limits. When you perform on a stage, you can do things that are not
possible on a daily basis.
On a stage you can be abnormal, but nobody will notice. You can be loud, you can
scream, you can jump all over the floor. Everyone would look at you like you were crazy, if
you did so on the street.
But this is normal on a stage. Characters become part of you.
And this is what I love. This is my passion. And I want it to be a part of my life.

MY DREAM JOB- PSYCHOLOGIST

I am not sure what I would like to study, but I have had some thoughts about it. I
would choose to study something which involves communication with people. For example, I
have been thinking about studying psychology because it seems interesting.
After graduating from gymnasium I want to go to study and to live in Tallinn. If I
chose to study psychology, I would apply for Tallinn University where I would have study
for three years to get a BA. After graduating from university, I want to specialise in
working with young people like children and teenagers because they need a lot of help,
someone should listen to their problems, give guidance and advise them professionally.
Especially, when they are worried about something or feel lonely. Nowadays, there are a lot
of young people of that kind and I would like to help them.
When I have worked for some years and saved money, I would like to obtain a
Master’s degree to improve my knowledge and to get better job and a higher salary. After
completing the Master’s Degree program, I would go to work and if I have enough
experience and money, I would set up my own company.

MY DREAM JOB- BANKER

I am the 11th grade student of Tamsalu Gymnasium and it is time to start making
plans of my future. In 2013 I took part in a job shadow day, where I was chosen to watch
what kind of job the Estonian Minister of Economic Affairs and Communication, Juhan
Parts, has. But last year I was watching Riho Unt’s job, who is the Chairman of the SEB
Bank Board. So the last job shadow day gave me a nice picture of what direction I want to
go. For now I have a dream about what kind of job I would like to have in the future.
After high school, I would like to study in Tallinn. My first choice of studies
would be business or public administration at Tallinn University of Technology. In business
I would like to specialize in management or organization. Also, I have a plan to obtain a MA
in business administration.
After studies, I would like to work in bank or some company. I am seeing myself as a
Chairman in bank or some company. Certainly, I will look for some opportunities to work
abroad to improve myself.
I believe that the high dreams should not be a problem for me because I am definitely
not a defeatist. If you believe in yourself and follow your dreams, then it is not difficult to
achieve your goals.

MY DREAM JOB- TRAVEL AGENT

Being a travel agent is one of the most enjoyable careers that one can have.
The reason for this is the gigantic amount of people one meets during visits of foreign
countries, but also the knowledge that is developed. Despite of the job looking like a way to
go around visiting places on others’ expenses, it requires detailed trainings and a lot of
planning and preparatory work before a trip can begin. It is a must to make sure that
during a stay in another country the group of people that the travel agent organized the
travel for will have the best experience possible.
The main goal while setting up trips for tourists a tour guide should make
sure they have a place to stay, know where they can go in the area, or possibly also outside of
the area. Of course, the travel agent should also be able to organize small road trips around
the location and guarantee the group an experience they will never forget. If the travel agent
gives their clients a good, well organized trip, there is a chance they will return, or
recommend it to their friends. That way, there will be more clients, and a better business.
Luxury is not always the priority of a travel agent, as sometimes they have to
spend the night in a cheap hotel, or a motel. The payment of a travel agent is average,
depending on the number of tourists and the services they provided by them.
The starting point of the studies in the field of tourism management would start at
the University of Tartu Pärnu College right after graduating from gymnasium. I have also
thought about going abroad during my gap year after gymnasium to get experience, see the
world and get to know other cultures while making money and working. An alternative for
me is to start studying abroad.
A good upbringing and a proper education will give anyone a fair chance in
life.

MY DREAM JOB- MEMBER
OF SECURITY FORCES

“What counts in life is not the


mere fact that we have lived. It is
what difference we have made to
the lives of others that will
determine the significance of the
life we lead.” Those words were
said by Nelson Mandela 13 years
ago. I believe these words have a
humongous power and today’s life
is based on it. I think it is
important to study hard at school
because after we graduate we make
changes in life, mostly based on what we have learned.
I have not decided at which university to continue my studies, but the University of
Tartu, Faculty of Science and technology is my goal at the moment. I would like to study
Physical Geography because I am interested in natural disasters in the first place, and most
of all in tsunamis. I have always been curious about how they develop and I keep myself
posted about what is going on in the world.
Another opportunity would be to join the Estonian Academy of Security Science. I am
not sure what to specialise in but I would choose this academy because of my interest in
crime shows. My parents have told me that I would be an excellent agent or detective
because I spend my free time watching crime shows. I think I have the guts to be a police
officer and my physical form is quite good as well. Lately, I have been thinking about joining
the army, too, but it is just a thought.
Probably, I will apply for both schools and it all depends where I will be accepted.
The place I will live depends on the university I choose. I do not mind living in dorms
because I am friendly, hard-working, and I do not have enemies. In future I would prefer not
to live in the city because I do not like the annoying noise at night.
The profession I choose has many various job opportunities in Estonia and
everywhere else. I can become a police officer and a border guard, a rescuer, a soldier and a
scientist.

MY DREAM JOB

I have not thought about


my future much and I do
not have a dream job. I do
not even know what I want
to do after graduating from
high school, but I do know
that I want to be successful.
I definitely want to
continue my studies at
university, but I am not
sure if I will do it right
after high school or take a
gap year instead. This year
would be perfect for
travelling and facing new
challenges. Also, it could
help me figure out who I want to be.
I love travelling and learning about different places, so it would be great if my job
would make this possible for me. I think that a tour guide’s job is the closest idea I have as a
dream job at the moment. I believe I would be a great tour guide, because I enjoy
communicating with different people and I could definitely make a trip memorable. However,
a tour guide’s job is not very well paid and it would be difficult to be away from home once I
have a family.
Lately I have been thinking about continuing my studies at the Estonian National
Defence College. I could get an applied higher education and a fixed job as an officer. This
way, I would not have to worry about finding a job and I would know that I matter and do
something useful with my life. Life as an officer would be interesting and challenging, which
would be perfect for me. Moreover, the salary is good, so I would not have to worry about
my family and their livelihood.
To conclude, I have some time to figure it out who I want to be. In a year I should be
deciding which universities I want to apply for and I hope that by that time I will know what
my dream job is and what I want to do with my life.

MY DREAM JOB- STOCK TRADER

When I was little, I used to travel around


Europe a lot. I like travelling, so my plan
is to find a job where I get to travel a lot
or a job where I could make a fortune.
I have always liked money, banking, stock
trading and other things similar to that. I
have a dream to become somebody just
like Timothy Sykes who is an American
stock trader and entrepreneur. He made
his first million dollars before he was even 20 years old.
Stock trading can be done anywhere around world. That is exactly the
speciality I want to focus on in the future. First of all, I plan on graduating from gymnasium,
then finishing a Business School and from there on, my life begins. With knowledge, millions
can be made on stock trading.
After I am wealthy enough, I have the opportunity to travel around the world,
meet a nice lady and settle down at a nice place, maybe somewhere near the Caribbean Sea.
My house does not have to be a villa, but I my car must be leading-edge.
That is exactly how I see my future: plans are quite big, but I will definitely
accomplish them.

Kert Vahisalu

MY DREAM JOB

I do not have any definite plans for the future yet, because there are so many ideas
and options and they are changing all the time. What is certain is that after graduating high
school, I am going to study at university, probably in the Tallinn University of Technology
or the University of Tallinn.
I do not know exactly what I would like to study at university, because I have not
found what to major in. The idea is that maybe I want to be an inspector of some kind of, but
I am not sure that this is the job which has the following qualities.
First of all, I would like to learn something that I am really interested in and after
graduating from university start working in this field. There could be specific tasks and I
must fulfill them. Also, there should be a lot of moving around, although I am not against
being in the office all day. In addition, I really like to communicate with people. I love to
work alone, but sometimes cooperation with someone would be great. I appreciate the co-
workers and a good salary. When I work hard then I would like to get some bonuses, too.

MY DREAM JOB

I do not have a clear idea of my


future career, but I have
considered many options. I have
thought about studying
psychology, physical education or
something to do with finance. For
a while I was considering entering
the Estonian Academy of Security
Sciences and study taxation and
customs to become a tax and
customs officer.
However, during the past few years I have been thinking about the Estonian
Defence Force and civil service, but I am not certain if I can make it in the Defence Force.
The thought of joining the Defence Force resulted from my interest in sports. I do sports
every day, so I thought that such a way of living would fit my future life.
I have had an interest in finance for a long time now, but this year it has
increased. My friends and I created a student company and the interest to deal with finance
has increased ever since. I’ve also liked maths ever since I was a child, so I have thought
about studying to become an accountant or simply something to do with banking. The thing
I most value about my future job is that I would really like and enjoy it, that it would give
me satisfaction. I also appreciate happy co-workers and a good pay.
The job must be interesting and offer new challenges and ways to develop
myself. During my time in school I would like to live in a city where all the shops and
cinemas are close at hand. There are more opportunities to find a job in a city and spend free
time. I have considered finding a job as well, to manage myself better and not depend on my
parents. I have been thinking about working as a waitress, perhaps, or a hotel receptionist,
because such jobs are easy and do not require higher education. Even now, during school
breaks, I find a job in order to earn some extra money.

MY DREAM JOB-
LOGISTIC
OFFICER

Although a lot of
people find it difficult to
reach a decision which job
to have and which career to
pursue, I should say I am
an exception. Since as early
as the 8th grade I have
known that I want to
become a logistic.
There are several reasons
why I have chosen this
profession. Firstly, as I
passionately love
mathematics, I have always
wanted to combine my
future occupation with that
subject. In addition, I am very inquisitive and I like taking risks and this way logistics
matches my personality. Moreover, my father advised me to choose this profession as there I
would have perfect career opportunities.
At first I knew nothing about this profession. But thanks to a lucky chance last
summer I had a part-time job in one of the most prestigious Estonian logistics company-
DHL Express. During the time when I worked there I got a sense of what logistics is all
about, what kind of education is required and how risky that job is.
To become a logistic, a person has to be self-confident, punctual, competent, flexible,
practical, persevering, and reliable and be able to work in a team. In addition, good
knowledge of both mathematics and economy is required.
In Estonia, it is possible to study logistics at a vocational school or university. I
would like to study at Tallinn University of Technology as at this university offers better
academic education. But I have heard that Tallinn University of Applied Sciences offers more
practical training.
All in all, I will try to do my best to fulfil my dreams and become a logistic. I think
that thanks to that job I will not only gain benefit from working there but also try to help
change the world to a better and more peaceful place.

MY DREAM JOB- SEN
TEACHER

Nowadays a career and a job are


very important to people. A big
part of life depends on them. I am
not sure yet what I want to study
at university after high school but
I have some thoughts. For sure, I
want to continue my studies in
Tallinn. I really like this city.
Lately, I have become interested in
helping and teaching children with
special needs and learning
difficulties. There is a need
to learn about special education. If
I major in this, I will see myself studying
at Tallinn University. Later, I will continue my studies to become a special education
teacher-counselor because there are higher chances of finding a better and more profitable
job. Also, because of that while studying it, I will have later a chance to work on my own and
also I make bigger decisions on important things. I would like to live and work in Tallinn,
but it all depends on where I can go to work.
In my dreams, I see that I am working as a teacher in a special school. Every day I teach
students with special needs, I support them and would make their lives a better and happier.
My co-workers would be helpful and nice people and I go to work with a good feeling
everyday. If it were possible, I would help to organize different events at school to students’
lives in school more interesting.
Another specialty that I am thinking about is personnel relations. I recently thought about it
and I have not reached information about it. As it seems interesting and beneficial. I would
love to work somewhere in a large company and to make significant decisions.
Finally, I have a definite place of employment, income and home. I am very happy and
satisfied with my work.

MY DREAM JOB- TOUR GUIDE

I have always been interested in tourism and travelling, so I have decided that it is
something I want to do in the future. I have always wanted to travel a lot, but I have not had
a chance. During the last couple of years I have had this chance and I have realised that I
love traveling so much, because it is so interesting to meet new people and visit new places.
I have decided to move to Tartu after high school and I want to study at the Estonian
University of Life Sciences, where I would like to study nature tourism. I would like to learn
more about world's sights and I also want to travel a lot.
I like communicating with people, so I think it is a good I idea to work as a member
of front-line staff while still at school. After university graduation I would like to work as a
tour guide in some other country or as a hotel receptionist.
I like traveling, but I always want to come back to Estonia, where my home and my
family are.

MY DREAM JOB- ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR

When I was a little girl I wanted to become a vet, because I was passionate about
helping animals and keeping them as safe as possible. Although I was dreaming of having
lots of dogs and cats, the thought of becoming a vet disappeared in time. But the thought of
keeping animals safe and healthy remained. So now I have been thinking about
environmental protection which means caring about nature and keeping it safe.
In 2013 I took part in the job shadowing programme and observed Liisa Rennel who
specialises in ornithology. She told me lot about studying the protection of the environment
and how difficult it is. Her job includes fieldwork and landscape projects. I may not like that
kind of job, because I am not the kind of person who would hike in the forests to set up
hidden cameras to keep track on endangered species. I have started to think about the
environmental inspectorate. Much of the work is indoors, as I would sit at my desk and go to
meetings and meet new people. Also, environmental inspectors process environmental
crimes.
I really think that I should specialise in environment science as I feel it is the right
subject for me. I have been thinking about it for several years now and searching for a lot of
information on where to study it and where to continue my career after graduation.

MY DREAM JOB- ACCOUNTANT

I have decided to go to Tallinn after high school and I want to apply for
Tallinn University of Technology to study accounting and to become an accountant.
Bookkeeping requires special knowledge and you certainly have to take part in different
traings. It also requires excellent knowledge of mathematics, logical thinking, good
concentration and command of languages. Although, bookkeeping is very difficult, involves a
lot of responsibility and is time-consuming, I like it and I am interested in it. Maybe because
I already have some idea what bookkeeping is. Firstly, my father has a little company, where
I have helped him with paperwork, making a bills and so on. Secondly, in 2014 I participated
in job shadowing, where I was a shadow of bookkeeper. I was in a company „Stoneridge
Electronics AS“ and the reality was quite different from my expectations. It was more
exciting than I had expected because I could observe four accountants. This day was very
important to me, I got a lot of new knowledge and experiences and I got to know what the
future for the bookkeepers will be like. Since that day I know that I want to work for a big
company, where the working environment is friendly and understanding.

MY DREAM JOB-
FINANCIAL ANALYST

My dream career right now would


be to become a financial analyst. I
wish to work at an international
investment bank - the reason for
this is my proficiency in English
that has motivated me to live and
work abroad.
A financial analyst's educational
background requires a Bachelor's
degree in Business Administration,
or in my case, in International
Business Administration. In
Estonia, there are two main
universities where you can obtain
an IBA – Tallinn University of
Technology and Estonian Business
School. As the
curriculum is in English, a minimum level of B1 in English is required. In addition to this, a
good score in both Math and Estonian is required.
The reason why I would like to choose a career in the finance/banking world is
because it is the route my brother took years ago – in one way or another, my family has
always been involved in investing. Thanks to him, my interest in stocks, dividends, banking
and investing grew - I have always been interested in “making money with money”. In
addition to that, I am very interested in entrepreneurship as my ultimate goal is to own my
own enterprise, which is why a degree in Business Administration will be of utmost
importance.

MY DREAM JOB- DIPLOMAT

In the future I would love to make a career working for the Estonian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs on matters of foreign policy. It depends on the job, but I believe besides a big
amount of paperwork it would also include a few long nights round the table, discussing with
my colleagues how something ought to be done. I suppose the closest job matching to such a
description is the one of a diplomat.
As a diplomat I would be working abroad in a foreign embassy. The job would also
include meeting with representatives of other nations and discussing matters of importance
with them. These matters would include, for example, economy, politics, issues concerning
citizens of my nation who have gotten into trouble and now need the help of their embassy,
or simply developing friendly relations between countries.
A lot of the time there would be spent at the embassy, but it would also require
moving around, taking part in events where you have to introduce your country, for
example, a huge economic fair or a world famous art exhibition like EXPO.

MY DREAM JOB- MUSIC
LABEL AND RECORDING
COMPANY OWNER

As students who are soon going to


graduate from gymnasium, we
have to make difficult decisions,
such as choosing a career, a school
to study at and a place to live. I
hope that we will all find a job of
our dreams and accomplish our
personal goals.
I think that my dream job would
be to own and run a music label
and recording company, where I
can work with famous musicians
and hopefully, be one myself by
then. I like to write my own songs,
play the piano and sing. I would
like to use my skills in the future
since I have always wanted a job
that would also be a hobby of
mine. Having a job related to
music somehow makes me connect
with it because it gives me so much
inspiration and it involves variety,
so I never get bored. Owning a
label gives me the chance to hire
musicians to perform my songs
since I like to be in the spotlight,
which allows me to break into the
big world.
My dream job has a global dimension and I would definitely be proud to get
that far.

MY DREAM JOB-
MARKETING
MANAGER

Imagine having such a


great job that you can’t
wait to get out of your bed
in the morning. Everyone
has their dream job. It is
important to love what you
are doing, because you will
be busy with it most of the
time. The fact that your
career may remain the same
till the end of your
life is kind of terrifying. That’s why some people change their career multiple times. But to
me, you have to be sure before taking up a particular career path. It’s a responsibility. My
dream job is to become a marketing manager.
Marketing managers use their marketing experience to design marketing campaigns
and offer pricing strategies so that their company can compete better in the marketplace.
They are in charge of the whole Marketing department in which they supervise everyone.
Marketing managers work in close connection to the Advertising, Sales and PR managers. I
think this is the right job for me because I’ve always been interested of how the market
works and the job will bring me personal satisfaction. I’m also interested in the way a
product reaches more customers by the means of advertising in order to generate more sales.
It may seem boring for some people but I think that if you are lucky enough to work in a
dynamic international company with a great team, there’s nothing better. Keeping in touch
with all sorts of customers and exploring new markets overseas is exciting and nobody can
convince me that it’s not.
Becoming a marketing manager isn’t easy but I think it’s worth it. You must possess
certain qualities and skills: You have to be social, patient, organized but above all, you have
to be a leader. A Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in Marketing from a college or a university
is required as well. Work experience as a marketing specialist or a market research analyst
before becoming a manager is a must. Speaking different languages is a bonus because most
companies try to expand their markets and work with customers from other countries.
There are some pros and cons of being a marketing manager and I’m aware of that.
Some of the pros are: High salary with many bonuses and perks; Working in a comfortable
environment; Working in virtually any industry; Short business trips. The cons are: High
competition for jobs; Working long hours; Pressure to meet deadlines. I personally think
that the pros are more than the cons and is there any job that doesn’t have cons at all?
I’m still only a high school student, so I have a long way to go. I hope that one day I
will be a marketing manager. And I’m going to wake up with a smile every day, because I
will be doing what I love. And doing what you love gives your life a purpose, a meaning and
a sense of completion, doesn’t it?

MY FAVORITE JOB-
LAWYER

Lawyer is my dream
profession. He is authorized
by law to provide legal aid,
assistance, representation
and protection in favour of
different persons and
organizational structures.
Lawyers represent clients
in court and in other
controversial situations
and carry out consultation of several transactions and cases. The profession of lawyer is free
and independent.
I like this job because I will be able to help people in need and to punish those who do
bad things with the power of law. It takes a great deal of timing and patience to finish the
job, which I'm sure I can handle. All you have to do is work as much as you can to succeed on
the case. Being a lawyer is a very responsible job, because they make important decisions
about people's lives.

Ivona Stoyanova

43
MY DREAM JOB-
LAWYER

A lawyer is a
person who
practices law as an
attorney, counselor
or solicitor. Law is
the system of rules
of conduct
established by the
government to
correct wrongs,
maintain the
stability of political
and social authority,
and deliver justice.
This is the job I
want to practice in my future. There are many reasons for me to like that job but here are the
main three:
• I want to help people
• I want to deliver justice
• I want to learn more and more
Like every other job this one is not perfect. It has a number of pros and cons.
One of the best things about the job is that you have a big salary. The money is the
main reason you go to work so it is pretty obvious that a big salary is a huge benefit. Other
pro is that you meet people and interact with them. The lawyers are also much respected
because the job is related to the law and it changes lives.
However the job has some cons ruining the “dream job” concept. One of the worst
parts is it that you have too much work. The lawyers may work for days which is stressing.
They also don’t have much free time. The other stressing part is that you can’t make
mistakes as a lawyer.
Overall the job is acquiring good mentality and a lot of time but it is rewarding. I
love the concept of helping others by applying the law. Serving justice and work for the
people is the dream I have since a kid. I just want to become a lawyer.

MY DREAM JOB- JOURNALIST

I want to be a journalist and advance in my career when I grow up. I really wish to be
a famous and successful journalist. The journalist should have a definite purpose and always
tell the truth to people.
The journalism is gathering, processing and dissemination of news and information
about events of the day to the audience. The profession also involves announcement and
presentation of news and different points of view. Nowadays for the Bulgarians the most
important is to receive reliable information about the situation not only in our country but in
the whole world.
When I choose my career I should be completely sure that I will put heart and soul
into my job. I will refer to my work with love and dedication and I will be rewarded. I believe
in the honour, the truth and the goodness. So I hope that my reports will present these
humans values.
I know that the way will be long and difficult. Keep your fingers crossed that I will
succeed realizing my dream.

MY DREAM JOB- VET

My dream is to become a
vet. Since I was a child I
have been surrounded by
animals and that made me
love them. At first as a joke
and later as a real dream
the veterinary medicine
appeared in my life. As I
was growing up my
attitude and intentions were becoming more serious. Now, I am ready to make that dream
come true. I am aware that the way is hard, but I will fight as much as I have to to reach my
goal.
The decision to become a vet is motivated not only by my desire to help sick
animals, but also to find my spiritual satisfaction. I believe becoming a vet will help me
accomplish my mission. It is not just a job but way of thinking, way of life. It is like a living
part of me. Being a vet will bring stability in my life, a long-awaited determination and real
spiritual satisfaction.
At home we breed a lot of animals. One kind are the rabbits, few years ago
they got sick by a serious disease transmitted between generations. That is the reason we
got some victims each generation. We gave them medicines but with no result. The only
thing I could do was to watch the rabbits dying in my hands being unable to do anything to
help them. Then promised to myself to become a vet and never ever feel so helpless.
Veterinary medicine is a power and a fortune. I believe there is no greater power than the
one that gives you the chance to make something good for the world. Having the
opportunity to treat sick animals is still something I should fight for years. If I manage to
get satisfaction and fairness for all the lives I didn’t manage to save, I am ready for anything.
A lot of people think that a job is an irritating occupation, but if you work
what you have dreamt of, the work is an enjoyment. Being a vet for me means to help always
no matter if I am paid for that. When I see a helpless or injured animal on the street, I am
ready to help them.
The determination and confidence I am going to gain when I actually start
saving animals will help me find my inner peace. I believe so as a big part of my problems
come from my helplessness. If I manage to find solutions to my issues I will feel calmer and
more confident in my own abilities. Once I do so, I will find my inner peace and I will live in
harmony with people and nature.
Someone has said “When you do what you want, you are in harmony with everything
else”. Becoming a vet is what I want and that will help me reach my top.

MY DREAM JOB- TEACHER

I am too old for my dream to be a princess, it is time for something serious.


My mother is a teacher and I am close to this job truth all my life. I know the power of red
pencil very well.
In second grade, when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer
was spoken with confidence; a teacher. Many children, girls in particular, claim that they
want to become a teacher, but as a child grows and more career opportunities emerge, most
deviate from the educational path and move on to other occupations.I think I find a pice of
me in this some future pice.
Teachers enhance the lives of young children by using their teaching methods to
deliver valuable information which will serve purpose throughout their lives. Teachers have
a great power. They have the power to make a positive or a negative impression embedded in
the minds of children that they teach.
I think that to be good teacher you have to be special person because it is not just
a job. It is a mission.I have great example for this profession in my mind – my mother. I hope
to be like her one day good woman, person and last but not least good teacher.

MY DREAM JOB- ENGLISH TEACHER

Who doesn’t want a perfect job ? Most people who are not happy at their current
jobs usually look for something better. Some people look for
better working hours , environment , or maybe just a substantial raise.
There are some disadvantages as well as advantages in a job. Weighing out the
options can help people make the right choice. Although we would all like to have the job of
our dreams , unfornutely , it only happens to few of us. I have wanted to be English teacher
since I was a kid, because I want to inspire people and I want someone to look at me and say ‘
Because of you I didn’t give up ! ‘ I want to escape ignorance and ignorant people by fighting
against ignorance. I want everybody to speak English and express themselves in
English.

Why I Chose This Profession


This job is my dream job.I like doing translation. My endless love for foreign

always wanted this job because I have a gift for foreign languages, so I will improve myself
in this field. I can easily learn the accents of different languages. In short, everything about
foreign languages sounds appealing to me. So this is my future job.

MY DREAM JOB- DOCTOR

Being a doctor is the best


profession for me, because people's
health is important .What would
we do without our health?
I want to be a doctor but to have
this job, I know that I have to
study hard. One of the advantages
of being a doctor is that you can
find a job as soon as you graduate
from the Faculty of Medicine in
Turkey. The responsibilities of this job includes helping and healing people by prescribing
medicine, carrying out various operations on patients depending on their illnesses. There are
various diseases in the world and they spread so fast, so doctors' mission is to do away with
these diseases and I think I can do it.

MY DREAM JOB- ACTRESS

I want to be an actress because I


can express myself by doing this.
I like watching movies and
theatre plays and I envy these
actresses. Sometimes I ask myself
''Can I do this job ?''. Then, I think
to myself, “if I love this job , I can
do it”. And I really love this job. I
get so happy while I’m acting. It
makes me happy.When people
know me and love me ,I will feel
happy and peaceful. Some of the responsibilities included in this job are being in the set in
time, attending to rehearsals, punctuality and line memorization. Failure to adhere to
responsibilities means being asked to leave the show. Perhaps I won’t be able to find a job
immediately after graduating from Art School but it is worth waiting. I’m sure I will be
succesful and glamorous in this job.

MY DREAM JOB- DENTIST

I want to be a dentist when I grow up because teeth are as important as any


other parts of our body.
To be a dentist, I need to prepare myself for the examination. I need to study hard in
science. However, English is also important for a dentist because most of the text books for
studying are in English.
The advantage of being a dentist is that I can help people have a healthy mouth and a
beautiful life.
There are also some disadvantages of this job. One of them is that I must study and
work very hard.
However, I still want to be a dentist, a careful and kind one and so I can help others
learn how to help themselves.

MY DREAM JOB- DOCTOR

Being a doctor is one of the oldest jobs in the world. Whether he was called doctor,
healer or physician, the doctor was and remains an important person in the life of society,
being among the most respected people in the community, and that's why I want to become
one.
I always wanted to be a doctor. You see, there is no doctor in my family. So it's my
dream to become the first doctor in my family. Other people tell me that it will take a lot of
studying and that I won't make it. But I don't care. I believe that I can be a doctor. I always
dream to save someone's life. I want to make my family happy. Being a doctor, I believe, is
not about being wealthy. Being a doctor is about giving genuine care to people who need it.
So, I will be a doctor. It is the best job that anyone could ever imagine. I want to save lives,
make people smile, operate on inoperable tumors, and last but not least, cure diseases.
There's something about medicine that has always fascinated me. I cannot imagine myself
being anything else but a doctor. I am stubborn and persistent and I won't stop.Being a
doctor is what I have wanted since I was a little girl. All I want is to see poeple enjoying
their lives and I do believe that I will be a doctor one day. I don't care what it takes but I will
and I do know that being a doctor is a big challenge.
This are the reasons why I want to be a doctor and because I love this job so much I'll
do my best in acheving my goal. If I accomplish this purpose I'll live a happy life knowing
that I used my existence on this planet to make a difference in other peoples' life.

MY DREAM JOB- SURGEON

All that we have accomplished in life are dreams and hopes that we have turned into
reality. Dreams are firm and powerful.Without dreams there would be nothing to look up to
and nothing to keep us going in life.
My dream is to help people. I want to be a surgeon. I believe that life is about
finding yourself and get to be that person everyday. But I never really knew what that meant
until I realized what I wanted to do with my life. However, I always knew I wanted to make
a difference in peoples' lives, so being a surgen would allow me to do that, and pay my bills at
the same time.
I chose this job as my favourite, because I am that type of person that is hurt
when she sees other people hurting. And when I know that I have made a difference in
someones' life, I am sincerely fullfilled. And maybe, occasionally, I will get to play the hero
who has defeated big and scary diseases. And even though it's not always going to be like
that, I am willing to take my chances and fully embrace this job, with the good and the bad.
I truly hope that I will be able to achive my dream job and with that achive
happiness. Becoming a surgeon is my ultimate dream, beacuse in this world that we're living
in, I want to be a part of the solution and not the problem. I want to be able to find solutions
in any situations and apply them, because that's what I want to do, fix problems, peoples'
problems. And you know what, dreams do come true.

MY DREAM JOB- DOCTOR

Well, the last activity of our Erasmus project was a quite hard one because there are a
lot of good options and I’m not very decided what to do in the future. Finally I managed to
choose one, to be a doctor.
One of the things that helped me choose this job was the ‘’Job Shadow’’ project
through which we had the chance to visit the local hospital and saw what a doctor really
does and how it is to be one.
Another reason for choosing this job is an experience from my childhood. When I
was a little boy, my grandpa had a rare disease but he unfortunately died right after the
doctors managed to find the diagnosis. On the day he died I promised myself that I would
become a doctor and I would try to help all the patients as much as I can.
Moreover, this job is also satisfactory from the financial point of view. If you have a
private practice license you can have your own business and working hard and with
professionalism you can attract patients. This automatically brings you good reputation and
great incomes.
Above all these, the most important thing and the biggest satisfaction is when you
save someone’s life. Nothing can be compared with the feeling you get when you succeed to
cure a person and bring the smile back on their face after months of agony and pain.
In conclusion I can say that this is a dream job because beside the financial advantage,
you also have a moral satisfaction when you know you saved someone’s life.

MY DREAM JOB- SOLDIER

The Erasmus project activity „ My favorite job” was such an easy task for me because
I always knew what I want to do when I grow up.
AS I said, since I was a little child I knew what I wanted to become and probably a
big influence about this thing was the background I grew up in. What I want to say is that I
spent a big part of my childhood with my grandpa who was a soldier in the WW2. I can say
that all I know about the war is from what he told me along the years.
All his stories about the WW2 were so interesting but the most exciting and
probably the thing that truly made me want to become a military is his collection of medals
and badges received after the war.
Besides this, another thing that made me want to become a soldier is the patriotic
feeling. It simply makes me want to protect my country and all the people who live in
ROMANIA. There are a lot of bad people and leaders who want to rule the world by force
and this is not good. We must be ready to protect our lands and to maintain peace.
This job is also very well paid because it is very dangerous. Our lives are put at risk
and that’s why soldiers must be financially rewarded.
In conclusion I know that this job is very dangerous but it also has many advantages
for me and especially for the country.

MY DREAM JOB- PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER

My dream is to become a professional photographer. I want to have this job because it


is a job full of opportunities and because I want to show everybody how beautiful the world
really is.
I think this job is full of opportunities because is allows you to travel to lots of
wonderful places from all around the world and also is offering the chance to meet a lot of
wonderful people, different cultures, religions and traditions the you never think they exist.
A beautiful part about this job is that you can transmit with every different
picture a different emotion, a different idea or a different sensation that can put a smile on
every face, that can make someone remember the happiest moment in their life or that can
change their mood completely in just a second or less.
The reason why I want to have this kind of job is because I want to see the world
with my own eyes and to give the people that can’t travel a look at how wonderful places
exist out there and maybe the wish to travel, because I believe that a picture is worth a
thousand words.
Another reason for wanting this kind of job is that I think that life is way too
short to see all the beauty of the world and with this job I’m sure that I have the chance to
help other generations see something interesting, something that can inspire them to create
something new without the effort of travelling or spending lots of money.

MY DREAM JOB- LAWYER

According to the dictionary, a lawyer is a person whose profession is to represent


clients in a court of law or to advise or act for clients in other legal matters.
Aspiring lawyers must complete law school. Applying to law school requires
graduating from a bachelor's degree program and, in nearly all cases, taking the Law School
Admission Test (LSAT). Applicants wanting to specialize in a particular field of law may
consider an undergraduate degree in that field. For example, students who want to become
tax attorneys might study accounting, while those interested in environmental law may
consider majoring in environmental science.
While no particular field of study is required for applying to law school, aspiring
lawyers should hone their reading, speaking and argumentation skills while in college.
Courses in political science and English may help students advance these skills and provide a
medium for presenting facts and arguing positions. Students may also use these classes to
strengthen critical thinking skills and prepare for the LSAT.
In Romania, according to the law, one may become a member of the bar if he/she
meets the following conditions:
1. He/she is a Romanian citizen, residing in Romania, with civil and political rights
and does not practice an authorized or waged profession in another country;
2. He/she graduated from a law faculty or holds PhD in law;
3. He/she is not involved in any case of indignity stipulated by this law.
The right to become a lawyer is granted following the graduation of an exam
organized by the Lawyers’ Bar in the applicant’s residing area. The exam consists of the
following subjects: civil law, criminal law, civil procedural law, criminal procedural law,
organization and practice of lawyer profession according to this law and the professional
status.
Upon admission, the lawyer bears the title of trainee lawyer, being included within
the trainee lawyers' list.
The training period lasts for 2 years, this period being compulsory, during which
time he/she bears the title of trainee lawyer.
Trainee lawyers may draw conclusions only at court and may assist or represent the
party before the prosecution bodies, may assist authorities with jurisdictional attributions,
notary publics, bailiffs, public administration bodies and institutions, as well as other legal
entities, according to the law.
After the probation period, the trainee lawyer shall pass the completion exam.
If he/she fails the completion exam 3 times, he/she will be excluded from the
profession.
The status of qualified lawyer is gained by the trainee who passed the completion
exam, or the lawyer who passed the graduation exam of the National Institute for Training
and Improvement of the Lawyers, under the conditions of the professional status.
I didn’t always want to be a lawyer, but I think that as an attorney I will have a more
direct and effective way to help people. I will also have more control over the path of my life
and career. I believe that a lawyer has a huge impact on how he or she feels about the
practice of law. If you feel that you’re not making a difference, find a better fit for yourself. I
will try to make that change in the future, and I hope I’ll be happy to be a lawyer.

MY DREAM JOB- VET

Since childhood, it has been my dream to become a veterinarian. I’ve always admired
people who help animals in need. I think it is one of the noblest jobs in the world.
A veterinarian must have compassion for both animals and people, enjoy working
with people and possess strong communication skills because every animal comes with a
human. But compassion and love for animals isn’t enough to make veterinary medicine a
good career choice. You also must be a good student and have strong science and math skills.
Veterinarians must be willing to advise clients on decisions that will have significant
financial and emotional impact.
I have always had pets, and maybe that’s why I became so attached to animals. As a
vet, you have to be prepared for any situation, because you can’t know what case can arise
next. Veterinarians must handle failure, loss, grieving and angry clients, and sometimes
animals that have been neglected. You have to be psychically prepared for these kinds of
situations.
Although it’s a difficult job, it’s a beautiful one. It’s not a job that you do only for
money, you do it because you enjoy saving animals. If you don’t have compassion for them,
there’s no use in becoming a veterinarian.

MY DREAM JOB- PSYCHOTERAPIST

When I was younger my dream was to become a doctor, but over the years my
dream changed.
And my new dream is to become a psychoterapist. Because I love to interact with
people, with their feelings, to understand them so I can find solutions at their problems, so
that they can find peace with themselves.
In order to follow my dream, after I finish highschool, I need to go to a faculty of
psychology, then get a master degree and in the end I need to do a specialized school.
I know it will take quite a lot of time and I’m not quite sure if I have the necessary
time, but becoming a psychoterapist is such an amazing thing in my opinion and in the end
the happiness you get when you can help someone with their life is much bigger than
anything.
I also know that maybe in the future I will change my option, because I still have 3
years of highschool, but for now this is my dream job, a job where you can help someone who
you don’t really know, where the mental health of someone depends on you.
But in the end you never know what the future holds or where your life will take you.

MY DREAM JOB- VET

Every person in his life needs to


find his calling. Even if his calling
is to be a doctor, lawyer or a
business executive, he needs to do
what he likes, not what another
person wants him to do. If a person
doesn’t find his calling, he needs
professional assistance from a
vocational psychologist. But it is
not my case. I already found my
calling. I will become a veterinarian.
Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in animals. The scope of veterinary
medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range
of conditions which can affect different species.
Veterinary medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional
supervision. Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a
vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian), but also by paraveterinary workers such as
veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with
specific specialisms such as animal physiotherapy or dentristy, and species relevant roles
such asfarriers.
I want to be a veterinarian because I love animals and I want to take care of them.
They are doctors for animals. There are many different types of veterinarians; some work
with small animals, large farm animals, or wild animals. Veterinarians learn to treat all
animals, but sometimes work with a specific type. Other veterinarians specialize in a
particular type of medicine.
But this job has a dark side, in my opinion. Veterinarians sometimes consider
the appropriateness of euthanasia ("putting to sleep") if a condition is likely to leave the
animal in pain or with a poor quality of life, or if treatment of a condition is likely to cause
more harm to the patient than good, or if the patient is unlikely to survive any treatment
regime. I don’t think I could ever “put to sleep” an animal.
I want to explore the wildlife medicine which is a relatively recent branch of
veterinary medicine, focusing on wildlife. Wildlife medicine veterinarians may work
with zoologists and conservation medicine practitioners and may also be called out to treat
marine species such as sea otters, dolphins, or whales after a natural disaster or oil spill.
In conclusion, every person has the right to choose his future, to do what he likes. I
have just one life and I am not going to waste it.

MY DREAM JOB- PILOT

Probably the most extraordinary job you can get is this one. To fly is one beautiful
thing you can do, a childhood dream, and to make a living out of this is something that not
many people achieve in their lifetime. This essay is about my dream job, I will do my best in
order to show you how marvelous this job is.
I have always been curious about what is like to touch a cloud. My first flight brought
me closer than ever to those fuzzy white things and seeing everything becoming smaller and
smaller as the plane gain altitude was a life changing experience, since then I am sure about
what I want to do with my life, I want to become an aviator. Everybody knows that Romania
is a wonderful place, and from above is even better, more than words can describe.
I wish that someday my job will be to fly over this beautiful country of ours and.
“Choose the job you love and you will never work a single day of your life” – words to live
by. Moreover the advantages are incredible: suits, meeting new people everyday, travelling
this gorgeous land, free snacks and you get paid for it. It doesn’t get any better than this,
plus my parents would be very proud of me.
But I will work hard for this, not every dream you have will just happen, for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you work hard and give everything you have
to pursue your dream, you will get there, Sir Isaac Newton approves. If you don’t, you will
not, simple as that.
Finally, this is my plan: Find what you love, work for your dream, achieve it, enjoy
what you achieved. Being an airplane pilot is my dream job and I will work as hard as I can
to get there.

MY DREAM JOB- KINDERGARTEN TEACHER

Since early childhood, I always wished to become a kindergarten teacher. In this way
my favorite working place would be at a kindergarten, so I could totally dedicate myself to
teaching.
My desire to be a teacher is because our teacher was really kind to us, she payed
a lot of attention to listen to what we were saying. She dedicated her time to organize
different activities, she took us for walks and we enjoyed together lots of journeys to
different interesting places. The best part of all was that even if we did something bad she
never punished us.
I really love to spend time with kids, to play with them, to listen to their fears
and if needed to give advice.
I consider that as a teacher it is very important to be patient with the children
even if they might not behave properly.
Also, this profession requires a lot of energy to supervise the children properly.
At the same time, I consider that it is very important to build up a strong connection
between the teacher and the parents of these children.
The teacher should make sure that she always comes with new ideas, new games
and stories to assure that the children will have a pleasant time during these hours.
I remember when I was a kid and my older siblings were doing their homeworks,
I used to sit with my younger brothers in the corner of the room and we were playing that
we were also studying.
All these experiences and memories made me even more to wish that one day my
dream will become reality, and I will be able to dedicate my time to teach.

MY DREAM JOB- DOCTOR

I think that my dream job is to became a doctor and this aspiration dates back to
when I was in kindergarten. Although I'm a young person, I fully understand why I have
this passion for medicine and why doctors make my desire so strong.
Firstly, as I grew up, I realized what it was that made my wish so powerful to become
a doctor: the fact that doctors save lives.That is part of the reason why I want to be a doctor.
In another train of thoughts, when I was twelve years old, my grandfather suffered
from a heart disease.This resulted in my mom making one to many visits to the hospital
every day and there I asked a lot of questions about why my grandfather was under so much
pain. My mom always tried to encourage me by saying that the doctors would make sure
that my grandfather would be healthy and able to return home. So, this gave me the feeling
of hope that made me believe that doctors always save lives. That is when my dream of
becoming a doctor started as I was pestering my mother with many questions about what it
means to be a doctor.
Secondly, I don't wish to be richer and the most appreciated doctor the world has
ever seen , but I want to be one who will serve her people and country in a true manner and
in my turn I expect to be respected in my field. I am interested in Chemistry and Biology
and that has added to my decision of entering the medical system and I think that if I became
a doctor, when I would return home, I would feel the moral satisfaction that I would do
something good for the community. In addition, the world is constantly changing and with
the development of new technology to treat many health complications, the need for doctors
is growing. For the time being, I really have this big dream of helping others and that is why
I want to become A DOCTOR.

MY DREAM JOB- LAWYER

A lawyer is a person who practises law, as an attorney, counselor or solicitor. Law is


the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereign government of a society to
correct wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice.
Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and
knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who
hire lawyers to perform legal services.
The educational prerequisites for becoming a lawyer vary greatly from country to
country. In some countries, law is taught by a faculty of law, which is a department of a
university's general undergraduate college. Law students in those countries pursue a Master
or Bachelor of Laws degree. In some countries it is common or even required for students to
earn another bachelor's degree at the same time. Nor is the LL.B the sole obstacle; it is often
followed by a series of advanced examinations, apprenticeships, and additional coursework at
special government institutes.
In my country, the right to become a lawyer is granted following the graduation of an
exam organized by the Lawyers’ Bar in the applicant’s residing area. The exam consists of
the following subjects: civil law, criminal law, civil procedural law, criminal procedural law,
organization and practice of lawyer profession according to this law and the professional
status.
Upon admission, the lawyer bears the title of trainee lawyer, being included within
the trainee lawyers' list.
The training period lasts for 2 years, this period being compulsory, during which
time he/she bears the title of trainee lawyer.
Trainee lawyers may draw conclusions only at court and may assist or represent the
party before the prosecution bodies, may assist authorities with jurisdictional attributions,
notary publics, bailiffs, public administration bodies and institutions, as well as other legal
entities, according to the law.
I want to be a lawyer because I want to defend human right , because in my opinion
there are defenseless people who are imprisoned without being guilty. Moreover, there are
people who pay much more for a tiny mistake and others who pay almost nothing for big
errors such as murders, dilapidations or other very bad things.

MY DREAM JOB- LAWYER

My dream job is to be a police officer because I want to help people and make the
word more peaceful.
There are many reasons why I would like to become a police officer, but I'm going to
highlight my top reasons of why I would like to be a cop.
"To serve and protect", a phrase known by everyone, but only a few know the
meaning and they are willing to live by it. As a police officer it's their duty to serve and to be
loyal to their country, along with their officers and to do anything in their power to protect.
I know what it takes to see and understand the dangers of life. To prevent harm and ensure
the safety of others, I believe, is a very valuable trait to find in one applying to be an officer
of the law. Teenagers seem to want to stay away from the word "responsibilities". The way I
look at it, the more responsabilities the greater the accomplishments. Every decision made in
life comes with some sort of responsibilities. It is up to that person to decide how they react
to it and what actions they decide to take.
Being a police officer comes with great responsibilities, something I've thought
long and hard about. I wouldn't take on something I know I couldn't handle. Like I said, this
is my dream. Being a police officer is not an easy job. But I'm not looking for easy. Pushing
yourself towards your goals and never giving up, no matter what kind of obstacles may come
in your way, gives one a sense of respect in oneself. I respect others, but respect is not just
given overnight. It takes hard work and motivation, one must earn respect. Having respect
from others is an important thing to have in this specific position.
I'm a very determined individual, and when I have something in my mind I will go to great
measures to reach and accomplish my goals. Seeing anyone have the same drive and
motivation is something that earns my respect, for it has given me respect in myself.
Police officers need to be brave and strong so that they can catch dangerous
thieves and robbers. They also need to be smart. They need to look for clues so that they can
solve crimes. Police officers need to be fit and strong too. They need to exercise so that they
can stay fit.
I think one of the most important requirements to become a police officer is to
learn English well. Because English is the most popular language in the world. And it will be
very useful for me to speak English well in the future.
In the end, I can say that I have a great amount of respect for our police men and
women and I would love to be a part of that.

MY DREAM JOB- FIREFIGHTER

A firefighter (also known as a fireman) is a rescuer extensively trained in firefighting,


primarily to extinguish hazardous fires that threaten property and civilian or natural
populations, and to rescue people from dangerous situations, like collapsed or burning
buildings or crashed vehicles.
The complexity of modern industrialized life with a greater prominence of hazards
has created an increase in the skills needed in firefighting technology and a broadening of the
firefighter-rescuer's remit. They sometimes provide emergency medical services, for
example. The fire service, or fire and rescue service, also known in some countries as the fire
brigade or fire department, is one of the three main emergency services. Firefighting and
firefighters have become ubiquitous around the world, from wildlands to urban areas, and
aboard ships. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, the English word firefighter has
been used since 1903. In recent decades it has become the preferred term, replacing fireman,
since more women serve as firefighters, and also because the term fireman can have other
meanings, including someone who sets, stokes, or tends fires, especially in designated
fireplaces – the opposite of the firefighting role.
The Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (Romanian:
Inspectoratul General pentru Situaţii de Urgenţă - IGSU) is a structure of the Ministry of
Administration and Interior created on December 15, 2004, by merging the Civil Defense
Command (Comandamentul Protecţiei Civile) with the General Inspectorate of the Military
Firefighters Corps (Inspectoratul General al Corpului Pompierilor Militari).
Fire fighting has some basic skills: prevention, self-preservation, rescue, preservation
of property, basic first aid and fire control. Firefighting is further broken down into skills
which include size-up, extinguishing, ventilation, salvage and overhaul. Wildland
firefighting includes size up, containment, extinguishment, and mop up. Search and Rescue,
which has already been mentioned, is performed early in any fire scenario and many times is
in unison with extinguishing and ventilation.
I would like to become a firefighter because I think that the most valuable thing in life
is to help the others. I want people around me to be safe, to feel protected and important. It is
a courageous and as well a great thing to risk your life saving the others’.

MY DREAM JOB- MEDICAL ASSISTANT

My ultimate dream job is to be medical assistant. Because I like to help people,


I like what they do with their hands-on work, and I always wanted to work in a hospital or
any kind of medical setting.
I like this job because it is dedicated to helping the doctors all over the
world diagnose their patients. Helping people makes me happy and feels good, so that’s one
of my reasons why I want to become a medical assistant. As I grewup , I used to watch them
perform their task and it really impressed me, so ever since then being a medical assistant
was a dream of mine. They are important in the medical field because without them doctors
would do double work. Medical assistants are healthcare providers who perform
administrative and clinical tasks to support the work of medical doctors and their health
professionals. They are more likely to work in all types of hospitals and facilities. They work
on a day to day basis earning their salary. Their main purpose is to make sure everything is
running smoothly. I hope in the future to have the same title.
This job will improve my life by providing me a career I will be able to take
with me wherever I go and opening up other doors for me in the medical and healthcare
professions. I will get to work in a clean environment and have many specialty options and
localities to choose from. I will get to build long lasting relationships with doctors and
patients and at the end of the day I will return home proud of what I did.
Over all, I chose this ultimate job to become more hands-on work. I tried
Medical Administrative and it didn’t work for me because I had difficulty understanding
their main purpose and my heart wasn’t in it. I know I made the right choice and decisions
here today, and will continue to try my hardest to understand the materials in front of me. In
order to achieve my goal I must study, go over my work and exercises, stay strong and
focus. By doing all of these I will achieve my goals...

MY DREAM JOB- POLICE OFFICER

The police, that part of the state institution who is responsible for making sure that
people obey the law and is responsible for the quietness and the peace of the state.
This job is on the first place on my carrer wishes because if you love something, you
do it with your heart.
I like this job because it is one of the most responsible jobs in the world and it's about
loyalty. And it is a serious job.
This job makes me feel excited about my future, and I can't wait to go to college and
work in this domain.
If I had to choose a police degree, like officer, I would choose the questor degree in
the police because a bigger grade needs more responsibility, and if I had to choose a degree
like an agent I would choose a chief-agent of the police, these two grades are my favourites.
This job is different from the rest, but different in a good way. And it is a safe place to
work.
At the same time, I like the uniform because it demands respect and seriousity, but
that is just a small detail, the real reason why I love this job is because it makes me happy.
In conclusion, this job isn't perfect for everybody, but it is a beautiful one in my
opinion.

I have more than one dream job but most of them are probably more like a fantasy
than a dream that could be realised so I will write about the job that could actually be
possible. I would like to own a company that designs and creates video games. I know that it
will not be too easy to get there but that would be the goal of a long road of hard work.
Nowadays almost everyone has at least one video game they play. It’s not only the
kids who play them anymore so, in a way, I guess I just want to be able to make some good
games so people could have fun and be entertained.
Since the ladder to climb in this industry will be pretty high I would most likely have
to start at the bottom of the industry which would make me a game tester. My job would be
to play video games before they have come out to the public so I could find any glitches or
errors that need to be fixed before the game is released. It sounds kind of an easy goal at first
but there are a lot of people who would also love that job.
Despite the fact that there are a lot of gaming industries and a lot of people wanting
to do the same thing as me, I think I might have a chance. Most of these people are just in it
to make games to make easy money without much improvement to the game itself or even
useless games where there is no point or goal. I would love to make games with deep and
interesting stories that drag the players into it so they would feel like they are playing an
interactive movie.
I know that this career choice would be somewhat risky but I think it is worth
because you should do something that you love or at least like. Would not be bad to get a
couple of friends in on the idea as well so the business could be with people I can trust.

MY DREAM JOB- POLICE
OFFICER

It is no secret that we all are good


at things that we like and that
bring us joy, therefore my dream
job is closely connected with my
hobby. I am only seventeen years
old, but I have already made the
first big step towards my dream. I
am a person who likes to do
everything according to a detailed
plan, and as a result I have a clear
vision about what I am going to do
for the next eight years of my life.
I am determined to establish my
own company in the future,
therefore two years ago I decided
to begin my studies in Ogres
Technical school and study
accountancy. In my opinion a
successful business manager needs
to have good knowledge of
accounting because it would help
to make right and thought-out
decisions when dealing with the
finances of the company.
Moreover, it would allow me to
understand proper organisation of my enterprise and how to make it successful.
With all my actions I wish to help the society, therefore I am going to establish a
company working in health sector because I think that this is a field which is longing for
innovations and energetic people who would be ready to work hard in order to encourage
positive changes in Latvian policy of health care. In my opinion there is no sufficient supply
of physical activities for physically disabled people. If you look behind our borders, it is not
hard to notice that there are physically challenged people who learn to dance or exercise in a
gym. And I am not talking about physiotherapy, I am talking about sports and dances which
people do and learn for their own pleasure. I think that we should practise things like these
more in Latvia because physical activities positively influence not only your body, but also
mind. Since in my free time I am doing powerlifting (set of exercises which are intended for
increasing muscle power), I have a good knowledge about fitness as well. After graduating
Ogres Technical school I wish to continue my studies in Latvian Academy of Sport
Education and study Sport Science and receive qualification as „a senior fitness coach and a
recreation specialist”. It will provide me with the necessary knowledge for opening my own
fitness studio which would focus on people with physical disabilities.
That would be a moment six years after today, but I mentioned an eight-year-plan.
After reaching all of the previously mentioned goals, I am planning to acquire Master’s
Degree studying health care in sports, so that my company could also offer physiotherapy
services, which, at the moment, are not offered enough.

The goal of this vision of my future and career is not building my own financial
wealth, but doing good things for the society I am living in. Therefore I suppose it is possible
that my company could function as a kind of a social institution whose main goal is not
making money. My biggest satisfaction would be being able to actually help someone.
If we are talking about dreams, I must confess that I have even bigger dreams than
that; that is why they are called dreams. I wish to engage in politics. I am a true patriot of
Latvia and this is the reason why I would like to take part in shaping the future of Latvia. I
know that in order to make this dream come true I need to gain vast experience, so it is
highly possible that this dream will come true just during the second half of my life.
Nevertheless, I believe that with great resolution, willpower and persistence I can do it! Yes,
I can imagine myself as the Latvian Minister for Health.

MY DREAM JOB-
CARPENTER

There are a lot of professions and careers


in our modern world. You can become and
work as whatever you please if you study
really hard and try your best. One day you
will be able to reach the top of your career
ladder. Everyone is free to choose to do
what they desire the most.
One of my top priorities is to become a
very good and successful carpenter.
Carpentry runs in my family. My father
and my grandfather have been working as
carpenter their whole lives. For as long as I can remember my dad would always teach me
something related to woodworking and wood in general. He was not making me to learn
these things. It was my initiative and I really enjoyed it. How wood behaves when it is being
cut and wood’s physical characteristics have always fascinated me. Furniture made of wood is
my favorite and I have always been curious of how it is made. A carpenter just seems to be
the perfect profession for me.
Although there are other things I like doing. Sports have taken a big impact in my
life. I enjoy running and staying in shape. I have played soccer for 10 years now and it is by
far my favorite type of sports. Besides being a carpenter I would love to do something related
to soccer as well. I am not yet completely sure but after graduating technical school I will
attend some sort of sports academy. There I could practice my skills as a football player and
maybe I could become a coach if I tried hard enough.
As my dreams and expectations are now clear to you I would like to mention never to
give up on your dreams because you never know what waits you around the corner.
