I love having goals because they help me to plan for the future.
Me encanta tener objetivos porque me ayudan a planificar el futuro.

When I was younger my goal was to be a teacher.
Cuando era más joven mi objetivo era ser profesora.

I worked hard to achieve my goal and went to both college and university.
Trabajé duro para conseguirlo y fui al colegio y a la universidad.

As a child I wanted to be a solicitor.
De niña quería ser abogada.

When I got the grades to go to university to study law I was thrilled.
Cuando obtuve las notas para ir a la universidad a estudiar Derecho me hizo mucha ilusión.

However, I quickly changed my mind on results day.
Sin embargo, el día de los resultados cambié rápidamente de opinión.

I realized that my goal had changed and I didn’t want to be a solicitor.
Me di cuenta de que mi objetivo había cambiado y no quería ser abogado.

I realized that it was ok for goals to change through life.
Me di cuenta de que estaba bien que los objetivos cambiaran a lo largo de la vida.

I realized that my goal was to reduce inequality in the world.
Me di cuenta de que mi objetivo era reducir la desigualdad en el mundo.

I decided that my new goal was to work with children instead.
Decidí que mi nuevo objetivo era trabajar con niños.

At first I felt guilty for not following through with my original plan.
Al principio me sentí culpable por no haber seguido mi plan original.

It took a while for me to accept that I hadn’t failed.
Tardé un tiempo en aceptar que no había fracasado.

Now I am really happy that I followed through with that instinct.
Ahora estoy muy contenta de haber seguido mi instinto.

Now I am doing something which I really love, which is teaching.
Ahora estoy haciendo algo que realmente me gusta, que es enseñar.

I have other life goals outside of my teaching career too, for example I want to build a business.
También tengo otros objetivos en la vida fuera de mi carrera docente, por ejemplo, quiero crear una empresa.

Whilst I love teaching, it isn’t the only goal I have for my life.
Aunque me encanta enseñar, no es el único objetivo de mi vida.

I want to build a business so that I have greater freedom in my daily life.
Quiero crear una empresa para tener más libertad en mi vida diaria.

At least, that’s what I hope will happen!
Al menos, ¡eso es lo que espero!

I had a business once before and it failed miserably, so I know the risks.
Ya tuve un negocio una vez y fracasó estrepitosamente, así que conozco los riesgos.

I’m determined to see my goals through, or die trying!
Estoy decidida a alcanzar mis objetivos o morir en el intento.
