Believing That You Can

(nextflipdebug5) #1

My Goals and Ambitions


I plan to pass the GED exam in one year. Once I have a
high school diploma, I want to continue to college. I study
English at ACE and take a GED class. Every day, I wake
up at 5:00 a.m., practice English pronunciation, and
memorize some new vocabulary. When I arrive at school, I
practice conversation with my classmates. I believe if I
keep doing this, I can improve my English. I will not give
up my dream, so I continue learning English. At the same
time, I am trying to find a job because I need money, and I
want to get work experience. When I finish college, I can
find a better job. That is my goal. I know that everyone
who wants to achieve success must work hard to make their
dream come true.

My Goals for the Future
I grew up in a small town in Cuba named Holguin. My
family encouraged me to be focused on my desires. My
desires are to set my goals, which are to obtain my GED,
get a better job, and give my son a better future. First, I am
prepared to continue with my education. Getting my GED
will make me feel very proud, and at the same time set a
good example for my three-year-old boy, Marlon. Second,
with a GED I could get a job with better pay and benefits. I
want to go to the university and study nuclear medicine. I
want to get a master’s degree. I know I can do it. I know I
can push myself as far as possible. Third, I want a better
future for my son. I want to give him a good education, a
place where he can feel at home, and he can enjoy it. I want
Marlon to go to the best university and be whatever he
wants to be. In conclusion, I will achieve my goals because
I want to get the best for myself, which is to obtain my
GED, get a better job, and give my son a better future.
