MY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

I am a first-year student now. I’m studying medicine at medical academy.

I’m going to be a surgeon like my father who is a brilliant surgeon. I have

always looked up to him. My grandfather was a surgeon too, so you can say

that it runs in the family.

I know that it’s a very difficult and responsible job and I’m going to study

really hard to become a good surgeon. I hope that after I graduate I will be

able to work at a good hospital or clinic and get a good salary. I am going to

apply for a postgraduate course and do research in the field of cardiosurgery.
