Education and Career Choices

2nd time “Your Zone” journalist: Mariam Khalid 8G

" I asked Mariam to write a few  paragraphs about education and her career choice for the future. I gave her about 15 minutes and here's what she wrote."

The career we choose for our life is really important. In addition to this, it will decide our future. When I was young, I always heard that education is necessary to learn about things in our life. I used to say that it wasn’t that important, but I regret what I used to say after I started to think about it.


Now, the question is, “Can I really find a suitable career for myself in the future?” I asked myself this question many times, but I never really found an answer. There are many choices, and I’m extremely confused; I always get worried that if I choose a certain career, it may not be suitable for me, and I might have problems with the job in the approaching years. I hope I can actually choose one!

So, I sat and kept thinking about a good career for myself; finally, I chose one. I’m considering a career as a doctor. I see people suffering from horrible diseases, so I sympathize with them; I really feel bad for these individuals. In my opinion, being a doctor is the best job for helping people that are having critical problems. I would love to see people happy when they don’t suffer from pain anymore. Having to wait in order to help these people is a test to my patience.

In the meantime, I will focus on studying in order to perfect this career choice. I would like to be perfect, but I know that no one truly is. In the end, I know that if I try my best and remain focused, I will achieve something close to perfection.
