Classical literature and linguistics are two of my favorite subjects. There are important subjects for
anyone who plans to become an English teacher. Being an English teacher presents a multitude of
opportunities. That is the reason why I work hard everysingle day. To become a Language and
Literature instructor the moment I graduate from the university and to write a novel before I turn thirty-
those are my goals in life.

You may think this is too early to plan for the future. Most students don’t start thinking about their
future until they are in it. For now, however, being an English teacher is what I focus on becoming.
This is my ultimate goal in life.
