6th: Where I will be...

Dear All,

Yesterday one of my friends posted an awesome blog when she described where she thought she would be in five, ten & thirty years time. I am now going to completely steal her idea and do exactly the same thing! hehehe

Five Years: Well, I hope to have finished my BA, and my Dip Ed so I can be a teacher. I hope to work for a year and then move over to England where I hope to teach for sometime. I would like to live somewhere close to the children I Au pair'ed for; but if some of my friends came over too i'd be happy to live anywhere in england really. I think the best option for me would be like Hampshire or Hertfordshire because their close enough to London that you can get there easily, but far enough away that you're out of the hussle and bustle of the City of London. So I hope to be teaching in England - and hopefully travelling around Europe sometimes!

Ten Years: I hope to have travelled a bit more by now. Perhaps taught for a while in Italy, or Canada - somewhere beautiful. I'm hoping that I will be in a steady relationship and starting to think about a family of my own. I want to feel comfortable in my career, but not so comfortable that I don't continue to learn and grow. I think by now I will have dones some further study - perhaps in psychology. The thing I love most about the idea of teaching is helping people learn new things everyday and supporting them during their development. I think I'd be starting to think about moving into a counsellor role even if I wasn't ready to give up being a teacher just yet.

Thirty Years: At this point I would hope to be in a really stable financial situation. While I think I would love to do something crazy like quit and travel the world or follow my dreams. I think intead i will be like my parents were for me and work to support my kids. i think I'll have two and I will work to make sure they have things they love. I know having kids would make me happy and I hope to have travelled enough to satisfy myself and be able to settle into a new stable kind of life. I hope that I will have my own house by now - and I know it will be in a semi-rural area. I think i will have a dog and hopefully will have a good balance between work and home life.


Anyway that is where I think i'll be! Its realistic rather than hopeful I think so I think it satisfies the criteria well!

Thanks for the idea my one and only blog reader xx
