My Aim in Life

English Essays & Paragraphs 

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. Opportunities also matter. Sometimes people may have abilities but not opportunities. Then they have to be satisfied with something different. 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. So,if I am selected for the engineering competition, money will be no problem. And I am confident that I will be selected. I am training myself to study seriously from that angle.

The few steps of his cage,

On pads of velvet quiet,

In his quiet rage.

He hears the last voice at night,

The patrolling cars,

And stares with his brilliant eyes

At the brilliant stars.
