PAU'S WRITING

Sarah and Eva are talking about going shopping on Black Friday


Informal letter

Dear Lourdes,

Our summer holidays ended last week and I cannot imagine routine starts again. I do not want to because summer seems to me very short. I only went to the beach for a few times because I worked as a waitress in a Restaurant in Sant Pere Pescador. You may know it: Can Trona’s Restaurant. It’s such a big restaurant and we are a lot of workers. We have more than a hundred tables and it is always full. So, you can imagine the chaos.

Wherever, I did not want to start school again because I am scared for what comes next. I am scared for TdR, for Selectivitat and for University. I do not consider myself a coward but I think I am. I have my ideas clear and I know perfectly what I want to be in a future. My goals are finish what I started: Batxillerat, and then do the Selectivitat exam to enter at UB, Barcelona’s University. I want a degree in Pharmacy. My dream is to work in a lab and do chemical work like medicines. I want to be kind a doctor to heal people.

I know my dreams are not easy and I also know I have to effort myself until get it. I am sure I will. I trust myself as no one and I know my limits. I really believe in myself and I know that I will get wherever I propose. Besides, I have my family’s support, the most important in my opinion. Most people can not go to University because economical problems. I do not consider my family rich but they would do anything for my education. They always let me free to choose what I wanted; they never pushed me to do what they wanted. I am very happy for that and I appreciate them a lot, I know I can trust them as they can trust me.

Finally, but not less important, I have support from my boyfriend. I know I will have him ever after and he is very important for me because he gives me strength and balance. We faced lots of challenges and we keep going. All troubles make us stronger. Together we can do anything we propose. We will not surrender. I know I can count on him as he can count on me.


“No one’s written your destiny for you.”
As Obama said, no one writes our destiny. I truly think there is no destiny. Everyone is free to do what they want, to be what they want without depending on other people. 
We were born not to follow orders but to make things, things we like, things that can cause revolutions. Everyone is unique in this world and you need to prove it. Prove that you are not a normal person, that you have thoughts and dreams and that you can get success. Everyone has failures but you need to learn from them, not to disappoint yourself. 
Everyone has something to offer to the world and we need to find what it is, and it will be not easy. That is why you need strength; you must struggle for what you want.

I'm happy to see you again.

Best wishes,


Ioana Salajan
