My Goals in Life There are so many things in life that I want. We all need money to buy the things we want. We all need a place to live, a car to drive, and a job to get it all.

We all can enjoy the day to day, hanging out with our friends, going to the mall, but at the end of the day, we need to study the books to ensure that tomorrow becomes what we plan. If we don’t , we
