My Dream
When I was a child, I wanted to be a teacher. My father was a teacher, and he taught me a lot. I worshiped him very much.
On my tenth birthday, he asked me,“What do you want to be when you grow up?”I answered proudly,“I want to be a teacher like you!”On hearing this, my father was very happy and said to me, “Work hard and your dream will come true.”
Not long ago, one of my primary school teachers was ill. She wanted me to take her place for two weeks. I was glad but nervous. My father said to me,“This is a good chance. Seize it! I wish you success!”
When I came into the classroom, the children were very happy. I introduced myself to them. Soon, I got on well with them. They all liked me and I loved them. With my father and headmaster＇s help, I did the work very well.
Now, I often miss those lovely children. That experience had made me even more interested in being a teacher in the future.
