My future

A few years ago when I was in 8th grade, I worried a lot about my
future. Every day, I thought ‘What am I going to do when I leave school?’. I didn’t feel excited
about the future – I just felt very scared. One reason was that at that time I found school
difficult. I usually studied hard and listened in class (well, I thought so), but my teachers never
seemed to be very happy with my work – or with me. When I think back to those times now, I
remember that sometimes I didn’t concentrate very well and I also handed in work too late. This
went on for most of the year, but then near the end of the year something happened. I
suddenly knew what my dream job was. I love animals and I decided that I wanted to become a
vet! To do that I had to go to a good university. And to go to a good university, I had to get good
marks and do well in my exams. From 9th grade onwards, I worked very hard every day in class.
I studied for hours at home and my parents even told me to work less! At the end of that year, I
won a prize for my good marks. My family were so proud of me and I felt great. But then, I
started to worry again. I thought ‘What will happen if I don’t get good results next year?’ and ‘If
I didn’t go to university, what would I do?’. Everyone told me that I just had to do my best and
to stop worrying. So that’s exactly what I did! I often think back to 8th grade when I was so
scared. Now I feel much more confident and I’m looking forward to the future! My future

Jairo Suárez

Hi Migue,

I’m Jairo Suárez, Camila’s friend. I’m sixteen years old and in 11th grade at a school in Bogotá. I’m
writing because I know you’re in 11th grade too and I’m looking for friends who are feeling like I
am about the future. I’m very excited about what’s going to happen. I know everything will
change, but I’m also a little nervous. I know I want to be a pilot and I see myself flying planes and
travelling around the world ten years from now. But I’m also worried because I still don’t know
how I’ll be able to do that. It’s so expensive to become a pilot, but there are different options. For
example, there are scholarships, or I can work part-time and save some money for my studies.
How do you feel about the future? What do you want to do with your life after graduation?

9. Read. Make a list of the expressions José and Kelly used to say if they have a skill
and ability or not.

José Gómez
I’m not very good at studying. In fact, I was so tired of studying after high school that I wanted to
take a rest. Then, I started working here and there, but I never did any courses. Now, I can see that
I’m able to do a lot of things even if I haven’t done any technical courses. I don’t have a diploma,
but I’m honest and I know how to work in teams, solve problems and find solutions. You can
always be sure I will come to work every day. I won’t arrive late or leave early and I’m able to learn
really fast.

Kelly Sánchez
My strengths? Well, I know a lot about HR, I’m a great leader and I can work under pressure. I’m
good at planning and organising events for employees and I’m very skilled at solving problems fast
and efficiently. To tell you the truth, I’m not very good at working with computers.

10. Answer the questions.

a. What are your strengths?

b. How can your strengths help you choose a career?

11. Read. Which careers should they do? Choose from the list below.

▪ journalist ▪ policeman ▪ English teacher

▪ doctor ▪ nurse ▪ farmer

▪ secretary ▪ lawyer ▪ engineer

Roberto

I think my strengths are that I can work well in a team, but I can also work well on my own. I’ll
have to think about these strengths when I choose a career. I can’t see myself in an office all day
long, doing lots of paperwork. I enjoy helping people so I want a career where I can have lots of
contact with people and can make a difference.

María
I’m sure my strengths will help me to decide what to study at university. I’m good at Maths, I’m
quite creative and I also like making decisions. I think that my English is also very good. I can use
that strength for my career because you need English in business to talk to people in meetings or
even send letters and emails. My weak subjects at school are subjects like Science so I wouldn’t
want to study anything like Chemistry.
