                             I CHOOSE MY FUTURE CAREER.

   "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". 
                 Confucius. 

Almost all people spend their lifetime at work. Often, we choose a profession according only to quantity of salary, but at the same time not all people love their work. It is very important for me to have such profession that would allow me to develop and combine my interests with routine life, well and of course to bring income.

Since I was a kid my mother took me to the studio of learning English. Today I continue to improve my English. And I dare say I have achieved results. Recently I have had success in the International English Olympiad and won a trip to a summer camp from the B.H.M.S in Switzerland. It proves that I am on the right way.

English is a world business language. Therefore practically all prestigious professions demand knowledge of English. The more I think about my future profession, the more I am sure it will be connected with foreign languages. Some of the most well paid jobs are: a teacher, namely a tutor (because to say the truth, a teacher is not well paid), an interpreter and an ambassadors. I think over the last two professions.

Аn interpreter is one of the most suitable professions for me. I am fond of studying English and I am very talkative. Аn interpreter is a person who is a link in conversation. One incorrectly translated word, you either launch a war, or smooth a critical situation.

An ambassador is a profession of my dream. But, frankly speaking, this dream is hardly achievable. Because the position which I'd like to take is already taken by Sergey Lavrov. He is my example of foreign language skills. He strikes with the wit and humor to relieve the tension, at the same time remaining polite and correct.

The choice of our career is one of the most responsible decisions our future life depends on. It is very important to carry out this choice consciously. Nowadays English knowledge gives an advantage in various prestigious professions.

I prefer to become a translator, because this is a pretty popular profession. Not every person is predisposed to the knowledge of several languages ​​at once. But if a person is predisposed, and then he should correctly choose "his" way of professional development.

 Not everyone can do it right away. Before you dwell on something specific, it is worth trying your hand in various fields and genres. You should not even try to choose a foreign language on the principle of popularity or perspectivity.

It is not you who choose the language to learn. Rather, it finds you. To master it fully, you need to have a similar psychology. Mandatory quality for a translator is perseverance, hard work and integrity. No one can know the language perfectly.

In this, a person can be helped only by reading and self-development. This profession will open doors to many countries. Recently, many people choose professions not thoroughly. If you correctly use the opportunities that are given at the end of the university, you can reach heights. The main thing is to learn how to do it.

 In conclusion, I want to say that not everyone is like a profession related to foreign languages. For this you need to try very hard, but if this is the soul, then it is possible.

I choose…
Sometimes every person has to make some choices or prefers. They can tell something about us, our interests, and our thoughts. These choices or decisions are really important.
I want to write about music. I love to listen music. I can listen it almost every day, every free minute. Often I can find some sense in music, but a good rhythm or “dancing melody” are good things too.
I’m a true music lover. It means I like every genre of music if I love the song. It can be classic, rock, pop music, alternative, opera jazz and more… My opinion is that every genre is different, but every song is also unique. I can’t choose one genre because I love only some songs in every of them.
I can say the same about instruments. Every genre is unique and some of them has own instruments. For example rock usually uses guitars, strong voices and drums; jazz uses something quiet or relaxing: saxes, tubes, simply but beautiful voices. Every genre has own instruments.
I’d like to say that I like pop and rock more than other genres. It’s because there are strong voices, good solo and often a sense in these songs.
So, why I’ve chosen essay about music? The reasons for my choice - the change in my mood.      It can make me happy; it also can make my cry or make me furious.

You can call me crazy, but it’s what I feel for music.

I Choose Friendship

Our enormous world is unimaginable without friendship. Friendship is not only close relations and common interests. It's a deep emotional affection which is sometimes more important than love.

There is a wise saying: "Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure" and it's completely true. Your friend helps you to overcome all difficulties, inspires you, gives you good advice and encourages you. Life without friends is boring, even if you are an unsociable person.

I am lucky to have a true friend. We really get along with each other as traits of our characters are quite similar. But Mary has something special inside. She is brave, independent and very romantic and sentimental. Sometimes it seems that Mary has already lived several lives as her wise thoughts are magnificent. I suppose that she is so smart because of reading books. We can speak about books and their storylines forever. Mary is also keen on singing, dancing and writing poems. She used to perform on the stage but now she is not interested in it. She can do almost everything. But no one is perfect. Mary can be too emotional and serious. That's why we have some disagreement and even hot discussions.

I appreciate our friendship because I can always rely on my friend; she keeps my darkest secrets and shares my happiness and sorrow. We are not only friends, we are one soul in two bodies.

This is the reason why I always choose friendship. You can meet a lot of people in your life, but your real friend is always with you when you need someone to share all the good and bad times with.

I Choose Education

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

Aristotle

The choice of a career is the most serious step in every person’s life. It is also essential for me, as it determines my future. What can help me to choose from a great variety of professions? The answer is education.

First of all, it is important for me to be interested in my professional activity, that is why I need to study very well and learn different subjects, such as foreign languages, especially English, and history, which is interesting for the majority of people.

My future career will be connected with history as well as with English. I consider that the knowledge of history is essential part of self-identification of humanity. What is more, I think that Russian history is interesting for all progressive people, so one of the ways to introduce it to the foreigners is in-depth studying of English.

The career direction, which I have chosen, is very relevant in the modern world. It requires a certain level of knowledge and skills. To become a specialist in the chosen field of activity I should have such qualities as communicability, perseverance, will power and self-confidence. High-quality education will help me to achieve more in my career and also it can give me possibilities to communicate with interesting people. I think that it is very important to study English and history seriously because my future career depends on it.

I realize the importance of my education for my future job. So, I will do my best to develop my aptitudes and talents in order to make a successful career.

                           I Choose Getting out of My Comfort Zone. 

  Actually, I was never sure about whom I wanted to be and what benefit I could bring to others. In my opinion such situation is very common to our generation as we live in the world of enormous opportunities. 

This year I have been thinking about the path to follow after the school graduation. At last, I have realized that I am in love with the hospitality industry. As a child I used to travel a lot with my parents and saw amazing hotels, fantastic restaurants and luxurious resorts. To be honest, I was always eager to know how this paradise was operated. I saw the highly qualified staff walking around in beautiful uniforms, smiling to me and trying to do their best to demonstrate how they value every guest. Everything worked as a clock. Time moves quickly and now I have made a choice to investigate the tricky mechanism that runs this exciting and thrilling business. I am planning to study hospitality for the next four years. This sphere is very diverse and suggests a vast array of career opportunities in a range of sectors. I clearly understand that I will be exposed to different cultures and languages and definitely I will experience a homesick. But still I have a strong commitment to get out of my comfort zone because studying hospitality will make me more confident and open-minded. 

 I strongly believe I will grow up personally and professionally. I will get a top position in the world of luxury brands and remote exotic resorts and I will deliver the top class service to many customers because that is my choice!

                                                       I Сhoose a Family.
I choose a family. After all, a family is the closest and dearest people. Every person dreams of a happy family, of home where people wait for you and love you.
I have recently participated in a charitable activity and visited an orphanage. Several students from my school were chosen to hand over to orphan children things, toys and clothes collected by our schoolmates. The children turned out to be friendly. We played with them and talked to them. There were kids of different ages, dressed differently. In fact, they seem to have everything: televisions, clothes, food, gadgets. But they do not have the most important thing, a family. All orphan children strongly wish they had it. Any time I complain about life, or argue with my parents, I remember those children who have no one in the whole world but themselves. At such moments I realize that I am the happiest person on the planet, because I have the most precious thing, a family. It is said that a family is the crystal of a society. Why crystal? Because it is priceless and durable.
The family means mutual understanding, trust and care. In the family, we can be criticized and hear about ourselves such things that other people would never dare to tell us. However, we can be absolutely sure that our nearest and dearest will never fall out of love with us. And no matter what happens, we can always count on  understanding and support of our relatives. For me, the family is the source of all that is bright, warm and kind. That’s why I choose a family
