My Goals I have a lot of goals. The first goal is about education. Now I am studying at De Anza College. I will finish my education in 2026 and at that time, I will get 12 credits. The credits are in Early Child Development and they will help me improve my teaching skills. The second goal is about my career. I’m living in Mountain View. This is a beautiful and small city. It is different from Beijing. I like the climate and I like the variety of people who live there. I might start a new business from America to China, which would create a cultural exchange between the 2 countries. If this goal is too hard to achieve, I have another career goal in mind. Currently, I very much enjoy being a Chinese teacher. Maybe I will go to another country to teach Chinese. There is a great need in Africa for Chinese teachers. The third goal is personal. My son will finish high school, and then, he will go to college. I must support him. I will work hard to help him succeed. My last goal is a community goal. During the past 3 years, I have volunteered to support the Chinese New Year project. I will volunteer more time next year. This gives me a warm-hearted feeling. Life is short, life is long. You must use your time wisely. I am hoping to achieve my goals. I will do my best. Because the world is so big, I want to know the whole world.
