MY FUTURE PLANS

It is very important for everybody to make the right choice of profession. And it is no
wonder because there are a lot of honorable professions at your disposal to obtain, for
example, the profession of a teacher, a doctor, a computer - operator, an engineer, a journalist,
an agronomist, a miner, a fitter, etc. It is difficult for the young people of seventeen to give a
definite answer. I have known for a long time that leaving school is the beginning of my
independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of my abilities and character.

As the years passed I changed my plans a lot of times about which University to enter or
what field of industry to specialize in. Some years ago I wanted to become a doctor. I
considered this profession to be very noble and honorable, because I wanted to help people
who had problems with their health. I admired the traits of character typical of doctors, such as
kindness, great responsibility, honesty and tolerance. A person who is dishonest can't be a good
doctor. I tried to do my best to develop only good features in myself. But this year I've finally
decided what to do.

My parents and school teachers helped me to choose my future profession. I'd like to
become a teacher as my parents are. This profession is to my liking ' though I understand that it
is a difficult job but I like people and my long - term dream is to bring up and teach children. It's
a great responsibility to bring up children. I think that's the main reason why teachers are
deeply respected. But it is not an easy task to become a good teacher. You should perfectly
know the subject you teach, you must be well - educated and well - informed.

More and more people realize that every educated person should know at least one
foreign language. That's why I'm going to become an English teacher. In my opinion it is
impossible to do without foreign languages because of expanding economic and cultural ties of
Ukraine with other countries of the world. So, I made up my mind to enter the Foreign
Languages Department of the Pedagogical University. Nowadays the teachers of English are of
in our country and I hope to be great demand come a teacher devoted to his cause.
