For me the future is very important but I believe that for me and for the whole world although there are sometimes that we do not think about it, due to circumstances.
ResponderEliminarRight now, what we have to do is to study like this, we will look for our future because if we study and get good grades later we can do what we want, like getting into a university, studying something we like and thus having a job with a good salary. and to have a good future.
My future is something that I constantly have in mind, because it is something very important to me and something that I fight for day by day to get the best of it. I want to achieve all my goals and for this I put effort daily in everything I do.
ResponderEliminarTo get a good future you have to be constant and make a lot of effort, since it is necessary to give the best of yourself. That is why I am so demanding with myself and I always try to do my best. For example, I consider that I am making a great effort to achieve the best results in my studies, and that this will open the doors for me to have a good future
Some of my future plans are the following:
First of all, I would like to become a neurosurgeon, since it is my dream job. I would also like to have a caravan to be able to travel all over the world and see all the places I can.
Another of my passions are motorcycles, and I would like to be able to have one and go to the motorcycle races that take place in Cadiz. I have many more plans, but these are the main ones.
In conclusion, in order to achieve a good future it is essential to always keep two aspects in mind, effort and perseverance, as they are the basis of all good results
