•                 Setting goals is very important in life.

•                 Goals give a direction to life

•                 If we don’t have a goal, we don’t have anything to work for.

•                 I set up short time goals for myself such as doing well in exams and working hard to achieve  those goals.

•                 But, my ultimate long-term goal is to give a comfortable life to my family.

•                 I have seen my family struggle for finances (money) at times, and so I want them to lead an easy life

•                 I have just completed my senior secondary / graduation here, and I plan to go abroad for my higher education.

•                 So, I understand that I have a long way to g before I can achieve my goal.

•                 First, I will complete my higher education in Canada, and then, hopefully, get a good job and start earning well.

•                 I have seen my relatives, who are in Canada, lead a very lavish lifestyle.

•                 My parents now look upon me to give them such a life.

•                 They have saved some money to send me to Canada.

•                 I know that I will have to work part time to cover my overhead expenses.

•                 I don’t want to put any more burden on my parents.

•                 I hope I am able to achieve my goal one day.

•                 I also want to be a productive member of society.

•                 I believe that if God has given us more than others, we should share something with the poor.

•                 I would be very happy, if I am able to achieve all that.

 

Or

 

•                 A big dream I have is to go and study in Canada.

•                 I’ve been thinking about this goal since I finished my senior secondary school.

•                 My plan is not just to study there but to eventually make it my home and bring all the comforts to my parents.

•                 For a while now, I have been working on this goal step by step.

•                 First, I need to clear a test called IELTS.

•                 It’s like a key that opens the door to studying in Canada. So, I’m preparing for that.

•                 After I clear IELTS, my next step is to apply to Canadian universities.

•                 I want to study something I really like, maybe something related to computers.

•                 Choosing the right program is important to get a good education and also to have good opportunities in Canada.

•                 Once I get admission to a university, I’ll be flying to Canada for my studies. It’s a big step, and I’ll be away from home, but it’s exciting because I’ll be learning new things and meeting new people.

•                 The reason I set this goal is because I want to make my parents proud and happy.

•                 They have always supported me, and this is my way of giving back to them.

•                 Canada is known for being a nice place with friendly people and good opportunities.

•                 I believe studying there will not only help me learn new things but also open doors for a good job.

•                 Being in Canada, I can work hard, build a good life, and eventually bring my parents to live with me.

•                 I want them to have all the comforts and happiness.

•                 It’s a long-term goal, but I think it’s worth it because it’s not just about my dreams; it’s also about making a better life for my family.
