IF YOU COULD DO IT ALL AGAINLaura:After I finished high school, I just wasn’t ready to go on college.
I really needed some time
to figure out what I wanted to do. I had saved up a lot of money;
so I used it to travel through
Eastern Europe for six months. It was an amazing experience and
I learned a lot about myself.
Once I got home, I was ready to start college. Now the only trouble is ,
I don’t have enough moneyto pay for it. I should have thought more
about my finances before I took such an expensive trip.Evan:By the time I was 22, I was the head of the public relations
department in a major telecommunications
Company. Now, I’m a vice president. I love the excitement,
the status, the security and the money. But sometimes
I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder, “What am
I doing?” Who am I? When I was growing up,
I always thought I would become a teacher or an artist. Sometimes
it seems like I’ve got everything and yet
I’ve got nothing.Rachel:Soon after Brad and I got married, his company transferred him
to San Francisco. I had a very successful
Career, but I quit my job and we moved. Brad has been transferred
twice since then. Now I work as an office temp.
Sometimes I think if I had been a little more selfish, maybe
I could have done more with my career, too.
But Brad really means a lot to me. As soon as I met him, I knew
I would spend the rest of my life with him.Exercise: Write the correct name to answer these questions.
