When I was small I wanted a job like a lawyer or a doctor as my parents always said this kind of job is a highly paid job. But as time pass, I notice that it is becoming quite impossible for me be a lawyer of doctor since my results are getting worst and worst. Soon, I forgot all about it. For the pass few years I don't have a dream or ambition until a few months ago, a big fire broke out behind my block. It happened on a Friday night, i was on my way to the kitchen to wash my hands when I saw thick smoke raising form below. I quickly rush down my block to see what happen and I saw the building that collects rubbish was on fire! The fire was so big that everyone has to stand at least ten metres away from it. Than suddenly, two fire trucks and four police cars came into the neighborhood from all four directions. I was so amused and surprised by them as they put out the fire in just less than fifteen minutes! Since that day, I always dreamed about being in the police, army or the air force.

The mission of the Singapore Police Force is to uphold the law, maintain order and keep the peace in the Republic of Singapore. In order to become a policeman, i must start studying hard to pass at least 5 GCE 'O' level credits and I will go to the gym more often to build up my body.

The Mission of the Singapore Armed Forces is to enhance Singapore's peace and security through deterrence and diplomacy, and should these fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor. To achieve this Mission, MINDEF is committed to strengthening the military, manpower, and technological edge of the SAF, while fostering close defense relations with friendly countries in the region and beyond through dialogue, confidence-building and co-operation. The qualification of the job is to have a full 'A' level certificate of a recognized diploma or degree. I will have to work very hard on my education to achieve that.

A air force pilot is a career that will optimize my talent as i hone my skills with the world's best Air Forces; participate in real-life operations. The training program will include all subjects related to the craft of flying. To be a pilot i must be a Singaporean and between 18 to 25. My height must be between 1.62m to 1.9m tall and my eye must have normal vision. It also must not be over 500 degrees and correctable to 6/6 and not more than 200 degrees astigmatism per eye. I am 1.66m tall and my eyes are qualified. Academically, i should have a Degree, Diploma or a full GCE 'A' Level Certificate with passes in English, Maths and Physical Science at 'O' level. And if i am planning to study in NUS or NTU, they will provide a full scholarship under the University Cadet Pilot Training Scheme. And overall, I came up with a conclusion of being a air force pilot as a career in the future I want to be police officer.

In order to be a police officer I must be at least 18 years old and have good eye sight and also have normal colour vision. For the academic part, I must have at least 5 GCE 'O' Level credits or NITEC. I must be certified medically fit and also either be a Singaporean or Singapore Permanent Resident.

On Friday march 2, our school went to the career fair 2007 which was held at Sun Tech City. It opens for 4 days from the 1st of march to the 4th. It was for those who wants a job or to switch their careers.This exhibition is very useful for people who are looking for a job. It tells their what are some of the qualifications that are needed in order to have that job. The purpose of us going there is to learn about the jobs that we want to be when we get older. I learn the different qualifications for a lot different careers and I found many interesting jobs like a card dealer at the casino. I saw a live demonstration of a card game name Black Jack. The dealer remain very calm through out the whole game and some of the moves he did was very cool! I wanted to join in and play but i can't since i'm in my school uniform. I found out alot about the job and going to the fair i a lot of informations for different jobs which i did not know before. I think everyone should go there and have a look as it is very useful.
