reflection

My dream is to become a doctor like my father, so that I can help others. I feel that if I become a doctor, I will be able to treat myself if I have any injuries too. Becoming a doctor is very hard because I will have to do well in all subjects. My plan to realise my dream is by studying very hard. People should have dreams so that they will aim to succeed in life. We will not be able to have a goal in life if we do not have dreams.
