My Aim in Life (English Essays) #eduvictors #essays

I want to be an engineer in life. Life is full of variety. There are different types of careers. Because of differences in the natures and abilities of persons, people take up different careers.

I am lucky in this respect.  My father is an officer with the Government of India. I am the only child of my parents. Luckily I am a good student too.
