My Self Reflection

Dear friends,

I’ve been asked to write my first “Self Reflection” article.

My name is Lia, I’m 17 years old and I am a student in the 2^nd Grade of the 3^rd Lyceum in Larissa. I’m writing this article, in order to share my thoughts with you about my future, so that you will know me better and probably you could understand my feelings and my internal world.

  My goal is to study English literature in Cyprus, because I believe that it will provide me better quality in studies and more remarkable degrees, in order to ensure more chances for work in the future. In case that I don't achieve this target, I would also like to succeed in Theater studies, because I think that I would be very good at it, as I believe that it is wonderful to be able to impersonate different characters in theater each time.

My priority at the moment is to gain as much knowledge as I can, which will give me not only good marks at school and in the tutorial, but also they will increase my confidence that I will be able to get a step closer to the university.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing difficult days because of the economic crisis, that lead us all young people to ensure a permanent career, so that we could have the monthly income that could provide us a comfortable life. So, my career, either I want it or not, will come first in my priorities and the family definitely will follow...

I find it a bit difficult to make my dreams and my goals come true. My fears many times come in my mind. What if ....? :

... I won't write well in the exams for the university?

... my parents won't be able to support me financially with my studies?

... my family won't agree with my choices and they press me to choose another way? 

Well, I hope all these thoughts to give me the strength to be an active member in this group in order to succeed in our assignment.
