Both the good and bad examples which were set by my professors and teachers have inspired me to pursue several of my dreams simultaneously. Mr. Holland, my Italian teacher and good friend, encouraged me to pursue that which I love and that which I feel passionate about. Following his advice, I plan to pursue a career in teaching English to high school students. I hope that I can set a good example for them just as my teachers and professors have set for me. I would also like to formally study Italian at the college level someday. I also plan to pursue my dream of writing. I especially enjoy writing articles and essays, and I hope that one day I will be able to write for some type of publication.
