I was looking out of the window, watching the traffic and umbrellas below. As the rain fell, I was wondering
what I was doing with my life. (16)......... I had finished university and taken the first job that I was
interviewed for.
The Choice
I was worried I would join all those who ended up working in cafes or fast-food places after graduation, or
that I'd be out of work. (17)......... I listened to my friends and parents saying congratulations, but, actually,
I did not feel like celebrating. I had ever thought of myself as the person who would end up working late in
the office and having to attend long, boring meetings.
Well, that was a year ago. Today I am sitting in a boat in the Pacific Ocean, filming a documentary about sea
pollution. I remember that day, when unable to concentrate on my work, I started to look at volunteer sites on

For me it was the decision of a lifetime. I knew I could not spend the rest of my life working just to pay the
bills. Through the work I do now, I have met amazing people. I started as a member of a research group but
now I work on the documentary team making films for schools. The aim is to teach kids about how they can
keep the oceans clean by reducing their personal pollution. (20).... It's not a lot, but it doesn't matter
