When I was in the eighth grade, my teacher asked us to write an article about what we would like to do when we grew up. All I could think of was one sentence I want to help other people! Over the years, I met many difficulties and failures (失败). But I never thought of giving up. I realized that to help other people I have to help myself first. I encouraged (鼓励) myself after I experienced (经历) failures, and I was happy for myself when I did well.

Finally, my dream really came true. I found a part-time job in a charity (慈善机构). I began to spend my days doing things for people in need. I have a happy life. That doesn’t mean that this kind of life is easy, or that my work is always enjoyable. I’m happy because I am doing what I want to do.

What do you want to do? Write it down now. If you don’t know, you can ask yourself, “What would I do if this was the last day of my life?” Then write down the first thing that comes to your mind, no matter how silly (愚蠢) or how impossible it is. Once you have an answer, you will know what your dream is.
