My 5 year plan


In my next five long years, I will be experiencing a whole new world, I would go to places, that I have never been to, and meet new people. In the next five years I may also come across some problems, but it will be worth the experience. 

Next year I will move out of Bali to go to school overseas, I will probably go to a boarding school. My mum reckons that this is a good idea, because I will meet new people, and I will have a better education. My older sister and brother went to boarding schools in Sydney, Australia, for year 11 and 12. They said that it was an amazing experience; they got to meet new people and go to new places. Right now, they still have lots of friends in Australia. So, for the next two years I will be studying overseas, the places I will possibly go are Sydney, Australia, or Chiang Mai, Thailand.

After I graduate, I would like to go straight to University in Australia. I asked advice from my older brother and sister, if I should take a one-year break. They both said “no”, they said it’s a bad idea, because you won’t be used to studying.  They had friends that took a one-year break and found it hard to get back to studying again. I agreed with them. In University, I would like to study either Marketing, Design or Asian Studies. During my time in University, I’ll stay either at my grandma’s house or share an apartment with friends. To make money, I’ll try to get a job somewhere in the surf industry. My older brother has worked in many surf shops, and he said it’s a good job, it’s easy and you get paid fairly well. After I graduate, I would come straight back to Bali, and stay in my home island around a month or two. After that, I would go travelling to places, which I have never been to, like maybe America or Europe. I would be travelling around for two months and after all that travelling, I’ll start looking for a job. I’ll be looking for jobs either in Bali or Sydney. Right now, Bali is becoming a hotspot for tourism, and by the time I will be looking for a job, there will be lots of choices and opportunities for me. I would rather live in Bali though, it’s much easier and I just like it here.
