Dear
teacher,
My name is
Xènia Segura and I’m 17 years old. I live in Vila-Sacra and my hobbies are
waterpolo and listen to music. In this course 2016 – 2017 I’m doing 2nd
of Batxillerat another time, but now I only come into 4 classes of the 4
subjects that I didn’t pass last year. I failed Maths, History of Spain, Philosophy
and Spanish. But I will keep going to the others classes to improve my
knowledge and practice for selectivity exams. For example in English, the 1st
day of class I asked to Lourdes if I had to do all the homework and the blog.
She told me that if I want to have good grades in selectivity I have to work in
class like the other people, but I don’t have to do the oral presentations.
My short-term
goals this year are four: the first earn good grades in the four subjects that
I have to do. The second try to learn more from the others subjects that I don’t
have to study, like English, Catalan or Technology. The 3rd one is
earn a good mark in selectivity. And the last one is enter into the degree that
I like. Now I don’t know what degree I want to do because I like different
degrees, for example: Teaching or Design. If I choose Teaching I would have to
choose between two specialties: Primary Education or a double degree of Childhood
and Primary Education. And if I choose Design I would have to choose between
three specialties: Graphic design, Industrial design or Interior design. The
problem of choosing design is that there aren’t public universities and all the
private universities are very expensive. For example, last year I went to a
conference of a university of Barcelona called EINA. When I was listening of
the speakers I thought that design is a good way for face my future but then
they said that every credit costs 61€ and I thought: WOW this is too cheap! But
a girl raises her hand and asked how many credits are in one course and they
told … 250 credits!! Suddenly all the people on the room took their phones and
calculate the price. The final price was … 15250€!!!! It was so CRAZY! When the
conference was finish I left the room and I looked to my friend and we started
to laugh!! It was unrealistic.
Now I’m
think of my large-term goals, but in this moment of my live I don’t have a
large-term goals because all the people who is doing Batxillerat thinks in four
short-term goals: Pass Batxillerat, approve the research paper, pass the
selectivity and study the degree that they like. When all these people,
included me, finish all these goals, we start a new stage less stressful, a stage
where we will be able to think more about our future and our large-term goals,
but now we only think in get off this stage of our lives with a good results.
And I think
that it’s all I think about my goals.
I look
forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
