My Dream

When I grow up I would like to be a pilot so that I can fly people around the world to their destination so they can visit their loved ones. For example, I can visit my grandparents in Hong Kong. However, because of my myopia I think that I may not be able to meet the requirement.



This is what I found from the Singapore Airlines Career Website.

Unquote

To realise my dream, I plan to:

1) study hard so that I can have a University Degree

2) practise more of the eyecare habits so that I can lower the risk of increasing in myopia.

3) exercise regularly and engage in more outdoor activities

I think people should have dreams because they can plan what to do in the future and work hard and strive to their goals.
