My Goals and Dreams
    I have many goals and dreams for myself. My goals have to do with my education, jobs, and how I want to help others. My main goal is to finish high school and graduate. After I graduate, I want to go to college. When I am in college, I want to have a part-time job. My dream while in college is to study nursing. Helping others is something I like to do, and being a nurse is a good way to help people.
    Nurses have an important job. They help those who are injured or sick, and they also assist doctors. When I get a job as a nurse, I hope to fulfill my dream of buying a house. I also want to help my mom get her dream car. I think it would be good to travel to different places and help people if they are sick or need health care. I know that with hard work and support I will be able to accomplish my goals and dreams.
