Part IV: Your Career Plan

I am most interested in teaching. I like both the idea of teaching and the benefits of the career, such as a
pension and health insurance. I would like to be an english or sociology teacher/professor. I need to acquire my
bachelor’s degree to become a teacher. I would also like to go for my masters and potentially my PhD.
Parv V: Backup Plan
If my plan does not work out, I won’t give up. I believe since I committed to this I can’t give up, because I would
never forgive myself. I’ve already saved up a lot of money over the years, enough in fact that I can pay for my
first two years of college with a good amount to spare. If I failed a class, I would earn the money and take it
again. I won’t give up until I reach my goal.
