When
we were given this article to write, I panicked. Do I have any ambitions? Is
there anything I love doing that could be made into a career? Is there
something I want to achieve in the future?
I’ve
never thought much about my future, and what I want to do. Of course, like any
other 6-year-old, I wanted to be a hairdresser, a surgeon, an astronaut and a
cleaner - all either too far-fetched or not far-fetched enough.
To
do our best in life, we need ambition. I would love to be either a surgeon or
astronaut, but the thought of having someone’s life in my hands makes me feel
sick, and I am petrified of flying.
So
now I’m nearly 15, it’s probably time to start taking a good, long think about
what I want to do in the future. What I want to be.
Like
everyone else, I have dreams, however, maybe it is time to stop thinking about
my dreams, and start making them into reality. I want to change the world. I
know I will never find the cure for cancer, but little things that I do may
change a few people’s lives.
That’s
rewarding enough for me.
When I was picking my GCSEs, I started to
consider options, started to consider what I wanted to do when I am older. A
teacher? A psychologist? A scientist? But then this amazing opportunity came
along. Being a student journalist has enabled me to improve my writing skills,
given me experience for the future but more than anything, it has helped me to
realise what I want to be when I am older. I want be either a journalist, or
editor of a magazine. Quite a jump from a cleaner then!
