My Ambition

Most people have great ambitions of becoming professionals like doctors, lawyers, engineers and accountants. My ambition is not a favorite choice for most people. I just want to become a writer.

When I told my father that I would like to become a writer, he just smiled. I asked him the reason for his smile. He told me that writing is a profession that can hardly pay for food on the table. However, he agreed that if I were to become a famous or popular writer, I would probably have a comfortable living. My father encouraged me to pursue my ambition if that was what I wanted for my life.

I did some research on some writers. I came across a light-hearted story about a writer, Mr John. One day, Mr John met his friend. His friend asked Mr John how many copies of books Mr John has sold. Mr John replied that so far he had not sold anything except his house and his car. The story shows the truth about the hard life of a writer.

Even though it is not easy to be a writer, I will pursue my ambition of becoming one in future. I must work hard so that I can become a famous writer. The pen is sharper than a sword. I hope that I can be a writer so that I can contribute positively to society and make a difference in the lives of my readers.
