Ambition

Focused Free-writing:

If you could be more ambitious in only one aspect of your life, what would it be?  Explain.  

Well, I definitely know my students will choose to be more ambitious towards their education.  Many of them mention how they would have taken high school more seriously, or how they would just go to school right when they graduated from high school and not look for a career.  But it depends, some people find that school is not for them.  However, I always encourage my students to pursue higher education, because in today's society, and education is the key to a successful career, and everyone wants a successful career. 
Now I'm really wondering if all my students have chosen that topic.  I've glanced over past topics students have written in this class, predicting, proposing what my students' responses would be and to my surprise, one of my students chose a response I've never heard of before.  His perspective caught me off guard, and I found it to be very interesting.  I've never thought of it that way.
