In our last topic: the future, we talked about students' plans and worries about the future.
Many of my students already know what degree they want to take or what they want to do for a living. However there are others who still have many doubts about what they want to do later on. But as they are going to stay another year at school (in the twelfth grade) they still have some time left to reflect upon their future ...
I have students in very different areas, such as sciences, art, literature and languages; so they are interested in being: doctors, engineers, environmentalists, biologists, architects, designers, photographers, lawyers, journalists, etc…
As for their worries about the future, they have a long list. They worry about the economic situation “the crisis”, as well as the environmental situation, about unemployment, criminality, violence, corruption, uncertainty in the world of work, etc…
Nevertheless when I ask them if they are optimistic or pessimistic about he future, they say they are still optimistic and feel that today’s situation will get better.
I am glad they are optimistic because we need people who believe and fight for a better world.
