Hello Lourdes,

My name is Faustine Gabard, I'm a 17-year-old girl that hopes that one day she will switch on a light, not the one that is in the kitchen neither the one in the bathroom or the one in the living room, none of those. I hope one day I will switch on the light next to my bed and in this instant I'll be sure to be on the right path.

We know that the path to success has many potholes and we know that sometimes things or people can deviate our direction. Precisely for this reason, the most important thing for success is never to forget our goals.

I will be honest, I don't really know right now what are my long-term goals... well, I have the ones that every student has: try to achieve my best grades to finally have the opportunity to enter into any university. Yes, I said "any" because I don't know which degree I would like to do. This isn't really important yet, so if we suppose that all I said before happens, I hope  I will find a good job, one that I like and where I can earn enough money to have a good life.

I will end this e-mail telling you a short-term goal that I think all humans should have. This short goal is to try to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible today, tomorrow and the days to come, because I'm convinced that if everybody does, our planet will be there for our children, our children's children and all the future generations.

We should think that if our ancestors had been selfish as some of us are now and they had had our technology surely, we would not have been here writing an e-mail to our fantastic English teacher.

My Best, Faustine Gabard :)
