I’ve always wanted to be a firefighter because I feel I have the necessary
skills, and also I want to save lives. Firefighters have to be brave and strong

I’m going to do well at high school and get into a college. I’m going to take

become a licensed doctor, I’m going to choose my specialty and complete my residency.

I want to be a good chef because I’m into spending time in the kitchen, and
