Dreams for the Future


"I want my students to do something that they love," Ms. Chen says. To help her
students think about their dreams for the future, Ms. Chen often asks guests to come to her
class and talk about their careers. The guests help Ms. Chen's students think about what
they want to do when they finish school.

Last week a firefighter talked about her job. "I love my job!" she said. "It's dangerous,
but it's challenging and fun, too. It allows me to be outside and meet a lot of people." She

told the class that people with jobs like hers have to be healthy and strong. They need to be
easygoing and able to work in teams. They save people and animals - but that's not all they

science and says, "I want to be an astronaut and become one of the first people to go to
another planet." Ms. Chen believes her students can do anything, and her advice to them is
to be patient and work hard.
