Jorge Colombia

I don't really have many regrets, all my


live I have basically had a few dreams
that I have achieved, but there's one I
didn't, my first dream was going to
United States on exchange but I didn't
feel very confident about my english I
sure

Laura Canada

I have a couple of regrets, one is is


that I spend too much time playing
video games when I was in school and
I never learn to play any instrument. I
would have liked to play in a band,
another regret is only speak one
language and I would have liked to
learn another language when I was
young.
Actividad C
Alaina, France
Something that I regret a lot is not
accepting a job offer that I was given a
few years ago. It was at a
multinational company. I took another
offer because it was a couple of blocks
away from my house. I don’t like to
get up early because just to sit on
public transportation for an hour to
get to a job that is far from my house.
Even though I'm fine right now, I know
life could have been better if I had
taken the other offer

Chester, England
One of my biggest regrets is not
becoming an English instructor. I was
working in Colombia as an English
teacher and I felt it was my vocation,
but I was offered a high-paying job
back in London and I accepted.
Certainly I have made a lot of money,
but I feel I should’ve followed my
dream. I don’t feel accomplished.
Actividad C
Kevin, South Africa
About seven or eight years ago, I
decided that making as much money
as possible was a goal that would
bring the most happiness in my life. I
closed my online business and apply
for a job at an insurance company.
When I had my own company, I was
able to exercise my creativity on a
daily basis. I was making decent
money and I knew I could make my
business grow. Even though, I make
more money now, I feel there’s more
to this life than accumulating things.

Rebecca, Italy
One of my regrets is that I never
traveled abroad. I really wish that I
had traveled overseas after college
as my parents suggested. I decided
to enroll in a Ph.D. program instead.
After I finished, I was offered a job
doing research. It is a well-paid job
and I have two kids, so it makes it
impossible for me to travel now.
