My Hopes And Fears For The Next 10 Years
My hopes and fears for the next 10 years
Being rather pessimistic, I would like to start off with my fears. I guess my most immediate fear is the approaching SPM examination. Though I have always been conscientious and am often among the top five students in class, I’m a bit worried about not doing well enough to enter sixth form.
This would mean that my parents would have to spend more money to send me to a private college. Even if I do enter sixth form, I worry about scoring brilliantly in the STPM so as to be eligible to do the university course of my choice.
But my greatest fear in the next decade when I turn 27 is the fear of not successfully completing my degree. What if I failed miserably? My parents would be disappointed and I would be devastated. What would I do if I were thus unable to support myself?
Related to this is the fear of growing older and alone. I love being a teenager with lots of friends. This is the time when you can enjoy the best that life has to offer without worrying about working for a living, getting married and becoming parents, but without good qualifications, I would be condemned to a low-paying job. My high-flying friends would probably shun me, and no one would want to marry me and eventually I’d die alone and unloved. This is what would pain me the most.
But enough of this gloom and doom! I must make sure that this sad scenario doesn’t occur. My greatest hope is that I complete my medical degree with distinction. I realize that this calls for a lot of diligence and sacrifice but I am more than ready to meet this challenge.
Also, in the next 10 years, I hope to change for the better. I tend to get impatient and short-tempered which gets me into hot soup with my parents and friends, so that’s definitely one trait I’d like to get rid of.
Just as important is my hope that my parents will remain in good health. They are now in their late fifties and enjoy excellent health, so I certainly hope that no aches and pains which commonly
