Believing That You Can
What Do I Want To Do?
My name is Carlos Chisco. I am from Colombia. I am
16 years old. My main goal is to speak, read, listen, and
write in English. I want to go to California and New York,
and I want to speak English very well. I would like to go
back my country to do a career in economics, and play
soccer over there. I want to watch the World Cup. After I
finished with college, I want to work at a great company in
Colombia. Few years later, I would like to visit Europe,
Spain, England, Italy, Germany and France, to see the
famous places there. I also want to visit the famous soccer
stadiums, and their architecture. In addition, I want to study
a Master’s in Finance in any of those countries.
When I return to Colombia, I want to buy a house and a
car for me. I would like to buy a home for my parents. I
want to meet a girl, fall in love, and marry her. I also want
to have four children, two boys and two girls. I would like
to travel with my family, and maybe live in another country
such as England or France. Furthermore, I want to learn
other languages in addition to English and Spanish. Also, I
would like to go to Africa, to see its flora and fauna. In
conclusion, my goals are to study, learn different languages,
and travel around the world.
Carlos Chisco has completed his GED in Colombia and moved to the
United States two months ago. Currently, he is an ESOL student at Gary
Adult High School. His teacher is Renuka Karunaratne.

Mexico City. All my childhood and part of my youth, I
lived in Mexico. I studied until I was 18 years old, studying
accounting in a technical school. I had many dreams to
further my studies, but my parents did not have the
economic resources to continue supporting me. So I decided
to work to continue my education. I got a job, but did not
earn enough money. Little by little my dream of studying
nursing was falling apart. On June 2, 2008, my dad gave us
the news we had been granted our resident visa to travel to
the United States. At that time my feelings were of joy and
