My future plans and expectations

I often wonder about my future as I am about to finish Secondary School. The number one question on
my mind is which profession should I choose? I want a profession that will satisfy me, challenge me, and
bring me joy. I believe that a job should be like a hobby. I want to love my work.
First of all, As soon as I finish Secondary School, I will take the first important exam of my life - the final
graduation exam. I will be tested in four different subjects: the English and German languages, biology, and
chemistry. After my graduation, I will study at the Medical University to become a doctor.
But now, I am focusing my attention on finishing my studies. Also, before I have a family, I would like
to travel overseas. I want to see countries like Japan, Finland and travel through the African continent. After I
finish my education and travels, I plan to get married and have a family. I would like to live with my future
family in a quiet, natural countryside setting.
