My future career

I am a school-leaver and this year I am finishing school. When you leave school, you
understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It is not an easy
task to choose the right job for you.
There are a lot of different professions and it is really hard to choose the one, which
would be interesting for you and will help you earn your living. Generally, I think
that choosing the right job is the main question not only for a school-leaver, but also
for all the family. Though I understand that parents can help their children make the
right choice, I guess it is much wiser to look at what interests you personally and only
then try to find something that might suit your interests and your personality using
your parents' advice.
As a child I liked to gather with my friends at my place and we imagined that we
were at school. I was a teacher and my friends were pupils. All my mother’s recipe
books were turned into school registers; all the furniture was used as blackboards
where I drew with chalk. As a result, I was punished but I still didn’t change my
dream to connect my future profession with children. Now I have already decided
what to do. I would like to become a teacher.
In my opinion, to be a teacher is not an easy task because you need not only to love
children, but you also should have an ability to explain things clearly, know your
subject profoundly and be an all around person. Though this is not the easiest task, I
am sure that I have got almost all necessary qualities to become a really good teacher.
Nowadays it is very important to know a foreign language, especially English. More
and more people need qualified teachers to teach them today. I understand that this
profession is greatly demanded and that is why I would like to become an English
teacher. This year I am going to enter the department of foreign languages at the local
University. To get an education of a teacher it is not the only thing one needs to
become a real teacher. Good teachers continue learning their subject all their career to
be able to answer any questions that might arise. They should be an example of
competence for their pupils.
Our life is too short and that is why I cannot afford to waste my time on a job, which
I am not going to enjoy. I hope that I will never regret choosing the career path of a
teacher.
