Me and My Plans for the Future

Let me introduce myself. My full name is Ekaterina Ivanova, but friends normally call me by my first name, Katya. I was born on the 8^th of September, 1970 into a family of lawyers. I’m the only child in the family.

I’m a pupil of the eleventh form of a secondary school. Our school is a gymnasium. It offers a general course of academic and non-academic subjects (like sports and home economics), providing general education. Besides, it offers a number of courses giving profound knowledge in a variety of fields: the humanities, natural sciences, mathematics.

I specialize in the humanities. The course I take includes Russian, Russian Literature, Social Sciences and two foreign languages – English and French. Social Sciences and English have always been my favorites, but my chief interest is law.

My dream has always been to become a lawyer. I’ve chosen this profession as my future occupation a long time ago. As a child, I listened to my parents discussing professional matters. Little by little, I got interested in the subject and began thinking of law as my prospective occupation. For me, choosing a career is not only a matter of future prestige and wealth. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. That is the reason why I have chosen the profession of a lawyer, which gives plenty of opportunities to help people in trouble.

I am very well aware of the fact that my interest in the subject is insufficient. I need profound knowledge in the chosen field. That is why my ambition is to enter the law department of the University of Moscow. That’s a difficult task, and I have to study twice as hard as others. I also take a six-month preparatory course at the University of Moscow. We are given lectures on Literature, Social Sciences; we have seminars in these subjects, too, and also tutorials in English.

I hope I’ll manage to pass my school-leaving exams and entrance exams at the University with good and excellent marks. That’ll give me a chance of entering the University this year. If I fail at the exams, I’m going to have a try next year. I think to become a lawyer is my final choice.
