My Ambition

Anyone who had been to school will surely be asked of this question. Most of the time, we would write long and repetitive essays to becoming a great professional to help the society when we grow up. Often teachers, doctors, scientist, spaceman were the most popular career ambition that an average 10 year old would think of. Many years later, when we advance our studies, there’s likely a chance that the same question that will be raise again but in a totally different manner. From “What is your ambition?” to “Describe your dream career and give reasons for your statement” You see, as you grow older, you would realize that things are not as easy as it seems. Doctors need to study in Pure Science, straight As in biology, chemistry & mathematics to stand a chance to study the course of becoming one. Even so, it takes 6 years to complete. Been a teacher too have its own difficulties such as been able to tolerate a bunch of defiant student like us. Another thing about been a teacher, is that you have to set the perfect example all the time. When you are 16, your ideal ambition will be to become a singer/artist. As you know, artist commands a great fame and paycheck and there’s many admirers waiting for you to adore. For a sports enthusiast, their likely ambition is likely to represent the nation pride in international games. Because you know that sports are something that you no need to study, just practice, practice and more practice. Ambition is something which typical Singaporean adolescents wouldn’t have as we are leading a sumptuousness and luxury lifestyle. Parents are also another deciding factor in a child ambition; have your parents crush your every aspiration before it could be mold into an ambition? Most parents do that and mine isn’t an exception.
