Believing That You Can

the subjects the teacher gives.
After I have graduated, I’m going to get my nursing
license; I will start working in a pediatrician clinic because I
want to learn how to help kids. I want to give a hundred
percent of my effort to the kids because I want to be able to
heal kids with cancer and find a cure and help them so they
won’t suffer. When I see those kids my heart suffers so I
want to be the person to find a cure, not for the fame and
fortune but for God’s will. In conclusion, I know that I will
be able to become a pediatrician because that’s my goal and
ambition. With the help of God and my own effort, I will
help the kids that are in need.

know if I put my heart into it I can accomplish my goal. My
cousin used to tell me, “If you put your heart and a little
determination into it, that’s all it takes.” By going one step
