I want to be a dietitian
When
I was a little girl I wanted to be a famous singer. Together with my friend, we
dressed in my mum’s clothes, we put on some make-up and we imagined that we
were on a concert singing for the crowds of our fans. The brushes were our
microphones and our fans were dolls and teddy bears. After some time I gave up
the idea of becoming a pop star.
When I was in primary school I changed my mind and
decided to become a dietitian who advises people on what to eat in order to
lead a healthy lifestyle. I got interested in cooking and healthy food. I
started to read a lot of books and watch TV programs that were related to this
topic. I became more aware of the influence of nutrition on people’s lives and
being a dietitian has become my new life goal.
Now I’m a student of a lower secondary school and I
already have a clear outline of my professional path. To start off my career I have to finish a secondary
school and pass Matura exams with flying colours. I would like to go to a
technical secondary school where I can gain professional knowledge and
experience at the same time. Then, I would like to study food and nutritional
science at the university to get a diploma in Dietetics. With a bachelor degree
I will be able to work either in private practice or under contract with health
care institution.

I will strive hard to make my dream come true because
I deeply believe that this job will give me a lot of satisfaction. I want to
help people with eating disorders and provide nutrition and health advice for
infants, children, adolescents and adults. By doing my job well, I will improve
the quality of people’s lives and change
their habits which will contribute to a better and happier world.

I love writing and reading so...
When I was a kid I wanted to be a footballer, like my fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo.
I wanted to be a astronaut, like Neal Armstrong. It was the picture that I wanted to see. I wanted to be someone famous, someone with power.
I wanted to make a difference... I wanted to be someone’s idol. Now? Now I want to be a Sports Journalist. I want to fly around the world to see and analyze the best’s football games. One of the best things about this job it’s that the people read, listen and interpret what you've just written. You could make the difference with just one simple text, with one simple analysis. I want to write to the Portuguese sports newspaper “A Bola”. |
I have the passion for this dream job because of my grandfather.
He loves football, he loves to talk about football and he doesn’t survive if he doesn’t buy the sports newspaper. He loves to read the news. This is one of the things that you need to have to be a good Sports Journalist: you need to love what you do … I love football... it’s one of the most important things in my life. The other thing is that you need to know how to write good articles. I love to write, I love to read … but not books! I love to read the sports newspaper, just like my grandfather. I love to write poems, stories … I know that if I become this sports journalist that I want to be it’s very difficult to have a family because as I already said sometimes you have to get out of your country.
But I'm sure I'll be prepared to deal with all difficulties! Diogo C. (Rio Maior, Portugal) |
I dreamed a lot about my future job...
When I was a child I always wanted to have many jobs. I wanted to be a hairdresser, make hairstyles for princesses and queens. That's what I did when I played with my brothers and with my grandmother.
There were times when I wanted to be a teacher. I wish I could give a good future for the students and encourage them to want to learn new things. I confess I always thought about being a scientist, discovering the cure for AIDS, discover a parallel universe and invent cars that move at the speed of light. I liked to be a singer, be on the stage with many people around screaming my name, and have a band famous for giving many concerts. Later understood that singing was not for my voice and I sometimes just sing in the shower that my sister does not appreciate. |
Photographer was also one of my many wishes, I wanted to film beautiful views and take creative pictures of strangers or friends.
For a few years I wanted to be a beautiful model and parading on catwalks best known in the world, with fabulous clothes designed by famous designers. As I love ice cream, I thought about selling ice cream and give it for free to children, adults and seniors a fresh and tasty ice cream. Now I imagine me a doctor, well known internationally for my experience and for my talent. I also like to build a private hospital and have a hobby on the Arts. All this was fantastic, but it's just a very complicated dream that needs some magic and a lot of work and dedication.
As you can understand I had a lot of dream jobsas I grew up but now I'm working hard to follow my last one! Margarida G. (Rio Maior, Portugal) |
Unfolding my future
When I was a child I dreamt , as most of the boys do, of becoming a footballer, a national hero or a famous sportsman admired by millions. But as I was growing up my dreams were changing too. Under the influence of my experiences I changed the way of perceiving life. I noticed that it is the most precious and at the same the most fragile gift you were given at birth and that it should be cherished at every moment. I realized that my dream is to become a doctor.
I’m certain that this is the right career for me. I possess a lot of features of character which are essential in this profession. I am hard-working, responsible, sensitive to other people’s needs and I have nerves of steel which enable me to stay cool in any critical situation . What is more, I can show compassion, respect and empathy and this is what all patients want a physician to express. I perform well in science and have scientific interests which I explore with enthusiasm and passion. I am only a teenager now and I am aware that there is a long and bumpy road to success in this profession. First, I have to finish middle school and then go to a secondary school. There I will focus mostly on biology, anatomy, chemistry, physics and foreign languages such as English and Latin. Then I should study medicine at the university and choose the faculty. I’ve already decided to become a surgeon. |
I observed surgeons’ work at the hospital where my little sister was operated on. She was diagnosed with a serious congenital heart disease. The surgeons saved her life then and they gained my respect and admiration.
I feel through my experiences that the role of the doctor is right for me. I want to pursue it with passion and make a difference in the lives of others. I will practice medicine ethically and honestly and act according to the Hippocratic oath.
I will do my best to make my dream come true. Wojtek Gierosz (Kraszewice, Poland) |
What will my future job be?
I'm sixteen and like a lot of people or teenagers of my age, I don't really know what my job in the future will be... I'm going to be honest with you all: I've got a few ideas or possibilities. I want so succed in life so I'm definetly going to study a degree at university -my parents aren't rich but they could support me economically. I might study law, as my father did. I'm quite intelligent, well not like Einstein but I consider myself to be fairly intelligent so I could be a good lawyer. |
It could be a good idea but... I don't imagine myself sitting down in an office every day of my life, I need more action, so ''My dream job" would be being a detective or police inspector! I constantly imagine myself entering into houses investigating the crime scene or capturing burglars...
I think I will study at Seville University, do you know where Seville is? It´s the capital of Andalusia, not far away from where I live. I can speak two languages quite well -English and Spanish, and I also practice martial arts. In less than a year´s time, I will have a black belt in Taekwondo, so as for being active and speaking languages I have no problems but I´m a bit lazy so I have to study a lot to build my dream-job...

Who doesn't have a future dream?
Lots of people dream with having a lot of money, others with travelling and others with finding the love of their lives. My dream for the future is to have a happy family, fulfill myself personally and finding the ideal job, but when I think about a job I wonder ‘what is my dream job?’ And sadly, after a long time thinking, I can't find the answer to this question. When I was a little girl, I had a dream; everything was easier, I knew I wanted to be a clown to make all the kids in the world happy, and while I was making my dream come true one day I was a doctor, another day I was a cleaner, another day a vet... |
However, when you get older and more mature you realize that you can't have a different job every day. So now I'm in process of finding that job, what I can do every day of my life without getting tired, that job that I love, a job that will make me happier. It´s difficult to find it because I can't see myself working as anything, I only guess myself travelling around the world, meeting new cities, new cultures.
When I find that job in what I can do that thing, I'll do anything to get it because it will be the basement of my happiness and if any day I start thinking it´s impossible to reach it, I´ll think in a famous phrase from a film that says: “Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they’re gonna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it!” Nazaret Romero (Spain)

What I want to be when I grow up? A reflexologist. What is that? Let me just explain.
Reflexology is an alternative form of medicine in which the healer applies special pressure on and massages the feet, hands, ears, face even the tongue and nose of a patient. Its target is to maintain balance in the human body which can be achieved through relaxation. Reflexology offers a great number of benefits. First of all, it relieves stress and tension by releasing the therapeutic powers of a human body. Moreover, it brings balance and harmony to the system and paves the way for self-healing. More specifically, it improves circulation, enhances the immune system, balances hormones and removes toxins. However, critics believe that reflexology is unreliable, because it can not treat certain conditions or diagnose medical cases.
|
In addition, it has been given a bad name due to people who didn‘t know how to practise it properly and who caused more harm than good.
To sum up, I believe that reflexology deserves to be treated as a true science. Lots of studies have shown how beneficial it can be for the human body even in very difficult cases. Let me just mention the fact that in Great Britain it is part of the national health system and that I truly want to become a reflexologist, because I really want to help people relax from their exhausting routine and forget for a short while their stresses.

Being an air traffic controller
Nowadays most people have a dream job they would like to do in their lives. My dream job is to be an air traffic controller.
Air traffic controllers are people trained to maintain the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic in the global air traffic control system. The position of air traffic controller is one that requires highly specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities. Controllers apply separation rules to keep aircraft at a safe distance from each other in their area of responsibility and move all aircraft safely and efficiently through their assigned sector of airspace, as well as on the ground.
Because controllers have an incredibly large responsibility while on duty (often in aviation, "on position"), the ATC profession is consistently regarded around the world as one of the most challenging careers, and can be notoriously stressful depending on many variables (equipment, configurations, weather, traffic volume, human factors, etc.). |
Many controllers, however, would cite high salaries and a very large and privileged degree of autonomy as major advantages of their jobs.
The reason I have chosen this job is because I find it challenging but I was also influenced by my dad who is an air traffic controller in the air forces. In my opinion, to be an ATC in the air forces is very difficult because it is too stressful and demands a great deal of responsibility. So I think that ACT is a dangerous and difficult job but it is very exciting too. Bairami Evi
