My Future Career

Read the article and then write your own written about your dream and fears.

A few year ago when I was in 9th grade, I worried a lot

about my future. Every day, I thought “What am I going
to do when I leave School? I didn´t feel excited about
the future – I just felt very scared. One reason was that
at that time I found school difficult. I usually studied
hard listened in class (well, I thought so), but my
teachers never seemed to be very happy with my
work, or me- When I think back to those times now, I
remember that sometimes I didn´t concéntrate very well
and I also handed in work too late. This went on for
most of the year, but then near the end of the year
something happened. I suddenly knew that my dream
job was. I love animals and I decided that I wanted to
become a vet! To do that I had to go to a good
university, I had to get good marks and do well in my
exams.

From 9th grade onwards, I worked very hard every day

in class. I studied for hours at home and parents even
told me to work less!
At the end of that year, I won a prize for my good
marks. My family were so proud of me and I felt great.
But then, I started to worry again. I thought “What will
happen if I don´t get good results next year?” and if
I didn´t go to university, what would I do? Everyone
told me that I just had to do my best and to stop
worrying.
So that´s exactly what I did.
I often think back 9th grade when I was so scared. Now
I feel much more confident and I’m looking forward to
the future!
