My future

"What do you want your future to look like?" or "What do you want when you grow up?". A 5 year old child will answer, "A princess!" or "I wanna be like Superman!". When this question was asked again now to a few 10 year old kids, result would be becoming a pilot, teacher, or a doctor. Now you wanna know how teenagers respond to this question? Well, the famous answer will probably be "Who cares?". That is the same thing I've been thinking until our ELA-20 teacher gave us this project. Being in my situation, you would probably hate your teacher making your brain work in the midst of relaxation. But thanks to this project, I would never realize that in my 18 years of surviving in this planet, I have no idea what to do in my life.

MARRIAGE

"Marriage is not like a hot food that you can spit right away when it is hot." For me, marriage is a one in a lifetime opportunity. I would like to marry the person whom I could share my love and myself for as long as a rock would remain hard. But this marriage thing sure can wait. I'll make sure I can support myself alone first before thinking of doing so to my future better half and kids.

LIFESTYLE

Everybody wants to be rich, and so am I. Imagine things if you could just burn money here and there without even worrying if it was going to run out. I wanna live the American dream, which is impossible for a lazy boy like me. Well I think that is why they called it a "dream" for who ever dreams of it needs to wake up and face the reality. But there are things that are more valuable than money, and these are: your family who loves you more than anything else and the ones who brought you to this world, your true friends whom you can trust, and your loved ones who never let you feel alone. Sitting here on my bed thinking of what to type next made me realize that I'm lucky. What could be more heart-lifting than being squeezed between a mother's body and arms to an orphan? How would you like sharing your most embarrassing secret without doubt? How would you feel when there are people who will wholeheartedly accept you even in your darkest side? I knew those feelings because I've experienced it and still experiencing it until now. I guess it is what I really want -- a simple life.

JOB

Some of you may already know about this but do you know why many children/students hate schooling? Well basically it's a job you don't get paid for. All successful person have gone trough this job and there is no escape to it. That being said, could you imagine now that in an early age of two, you already got yourself a job? How cool was that!

In terms of my future job, becoming an engineer is what I desire. I want to feel the feeling of being a part of something big. Something that would remind everyone of the hard work and sacrifices we did. Something that I can be proud of. Something where I could say, "We did it". But first I must fulfill the last step in completing my very own first job,schooling, which is graduating. That is the first final step I would take to have a lead on my next journey.
