How I Made My Choice.

Jane: Hello! I want to become a teacher of Literature. I made my choice long ago. And my choice was not sudden. When I was a child, I liked to play with dolls. I sat them in a row and gave lessons to them. A blackboard and a chalk were my favorite toys. Then I went to school. I studied well and I was especially good at Humanities. Literature was my favorite subject and my teacher said I had a talent for it. Besides I like children very much. I think I am just cut out for a teacher. It’s my cup of tea.

Mike: Hi! Choosing a career is no problem for me. I decided to take over business from my parents and to follow their steps. My mother and father are doctors. My grandmother is a hospital nurse. My uncle is a dentist. It is our family tradition and I want to continue it. This profession is noble, interesting and useful to people. I want to bring happiness to people. Certainly, it is not well-paid today. But I care about job, not the money.

Nick: Well, I have never worried about my future and career. My parents tried to help me to make my choice. But I never knew exactly, what I needed. So, I finished school and entered The Technical University, not because I wanted it, but because my friend decided to go their too. When I was a student, I needed money. One day I went to the Job Agency and they suggested me a job of a driver. I agreed. Soon I understood it was my cup of tea. I have been working as a driver for two years already. I like my job and I am not going to give it up. As far as you can see, my choice is a matter of an occasion. I am thankful to the fate for this occasion.

George: How did I make my choice? At school I studied not bad and I especially liked History and studied it with pleasure. Also my friends often said that I had a very bad character. You see, I liked to argue very much, even if I knew I was not right. One day my friends gave me advice. They suggested me to become a lawyer. I thought it over and said: ”Why not?” Now I am thankful to my friends. It is really my cup of tea.

Ann: Hi! I’ve got a dream. I want to become a shop-assistant. But I’m afraid my dream will never come true. You see my mother is against it. She wants me to become a manager, a lawyer, an accountant or something like that. So, she made me enter the University. Now I study at the Faculty of Management, but without any pleasure. I think, my mother is wrong. Parents should not decide for their children, what occupation to choose. Every person must make his own choice.
