My Future Plans

From the moment I was a little girl, I’ve always wanted to become an archaeologist in Egypt. When I got my first history lessons in the 5th grade at primary school, the Egyptian time and culture drew my attention and I immediately loved it. I was sure: I would become an  archaeologist in Egypt to explore the ancient Pharaoh graves and learn more about the culture people lived in.

 

But my dream faded away slowly when a good friend of my father told me I was a natural speaker.
He said that he was convinced that I should get a job as a politician or a lawyer. First, I thought this was not a good option for me because I already had plans with my life and they involved old pyramids, great desserts and golden Pharaoh masks.

But when I started to delve into the job as a lawyer, I quite liked it. That was in my 6th year at primary school. My brother was in the first year of the Johan de Witt gymnasium and I knew I also had to do the highest educational level possible to be able to study laws. I made a promise with myself: I would work as hard as I could to get a good Cito mark so I could go to the Johan de Witt gymnasium.

When I accomplice at this point, my further plans were to do and finish the six-year school without any troubles.

So now I am in the 4th grade and I’m doing fine. I have to work hard to get good marks and can’t afford lazy midday’s. But I am okay with that. I know I have to work hard but I will because my future law study is the only thing I concentrate on.

I would love to go the university in Leiden and I can’t wait for the moment I walk into the Augustijnenkerk to receive my Johan de Witt diploma. My brother passed his exam last year and is now studying biomedical science in Leiden.
  
My love for history hasn’t fade away completely. I am still fascinated by the old Egyptian culture, but not as a future job anymore. I have made my decision; I am going to be a law student and I am willing to work hard for that goal. Even for my Cambridge English blogs !
