October 22nd
Hi friends 😊
How are you?
I‘m fine but at school it is very busy right now. At the moment we're talking a lot about our final exams next year and the time after the exams.
I will be very sad when school is over. But I will be very proud, too, because I started school in Nigeria and now I will finish it here in Adderbury.
Today, I would like to tell you about my ideas for my future.
When I was little, I wanted to be doctor, because I like to help people. My favourite subject in school is Biology. But I am not sure, if I want to go to university for so many years. That is why I am thinking about other jobs I can do, too.
As you know I like cooking very much 😊
(Go to my latest post and have a look at the tasty dishes 😊 !!!). 
Maybe I will do an apprenticeship to become a cook. I know, working as a cook can be hard, because you have to work in the evening, too. But I think I will be a good cook, because I am very creative and I like to try out a lot of new recipes.
My grandma loves this plan. I like cooking with her and she teaches me to cook traditional Nigerian food. Maybe I will have my own restaurant.
What do you think about my ideas?
What do you want to do after school? Please comment below 😊
Bye-bye! Amina
