Module 5, 5B, Exercise 5, page 61.0:00
All my friends knew exactly what they wanted to study, but not me.0:10
That's why I went to see a career advisor.0:14
She talked me through all my options, from art history to zoology.0:17
Some of the courses I'd never even heard of.0:23
Including tourism management.0:26
I had no idea you could study something like that.0:29
The idea of helping people while they're on holiday really appeals to me.0:33
That's why I think this course is right for me.0:38
Everyone thinks studying abroad is really exciting, but because of my parents' jobs, I moved around a lot when I was growing up.0:44
I spent most of my life in boarding schools around the world, so living in a foreign country doesn't appeal to me at all.0:52
I've felt like a tourist all my life and would much rather stay where I am now, with my friends.0:58
I'm not sure which course is right for me, so that's why I haven't enrolled in any courses yet.1:03
But I know for sure that whatever I do, I'm going to do it right here.1:08
Most of my friends want to take a gap year before doing further education.1:15
I'd love to travel as well.1:20
I just figure I can do that after I graduate.1:23
The thing is, I know exactly what I want to study, so I've already enrolled in a course come September.1:26
I've always been interested in the past.1:34
I think it's important to know how we got where we are today.1:37
I'm particularly interested in the medieval times, which is one of the options for my degree.1:40
I can't wait to start.1:46
Ever since I was young, I never really liked being away from home.1:51
Even when I stayed overnight at my friends' houses, I would always miss my family.1:56
I'm not going to let that stop me from achieving my dreams, though.2:02
I want to study French, and I know that the best way to learn a language is by using it every day.2:05
So, I'm going to move to France and go to university there.2:11
I know it will be hard at first, but it will make me a stronger and more independent person.2:16
My parents have always pushed me to become a doctor or an architect.2:25
I want to make them happy, but I'm not sure that university is right for me.2:30
I told them I was going to take a gap year after school to consider my options, They think I'm going to work for a while and save money to study.2:34
The truth is, I'm not interested in going to university and I'm ready to start my career.2:43
I've already found myself a job and I start work next week.2:49
