Model Answer 1:
I am a student of a medical college and undergoing my graduation that will 
lead me to be a doctor by profession. But I find more interest in mathematics 
and literature and planning to be a writer, teacher or something similar to 
those. I am uninterested in becoming a doctor in the future. 
In fact, I was admitted to a medical college with the pressure of my parents 
and they wanted me to be a renowned doctor. They also advised me to study 
MBBS so that I could be a doctor and help people in their distress. But in 
reality, there are fewer chances to help the poor in real terms and even if I try, 
it is impossible for me alone to help the destitute people. I can provide them 
only advice to cure their diseases but I am unable to buy medications for them. 
So, I think this is a kind of mockery and deception with one’s own self. Being 
enlightened with the modern education, it is impossible for me to deceive

myself and be a doctor. So, I am planning to be a writer. I will take it as my 
profession and have an honest living for me and my family who will be 
dependent on me. 
Initially, it was inspiring for me to be a doctor and help the society. But when I 
crossed some of the semesters in the medical colleges here in India, I thought 
that it nearly impossible for me to help the poor in terms of reality. I will be 
unable to provide the necessary help. I thought about the issue considering the 
real life issues. If I help the poor people or help them without any charging any 
fees, I would be unable to maintain myself and my family. I have seen that 
when the poor people come to know about such issues that they will be 
treated in free of charges, they crowd in that place and play a great role to 
make the life hell of the doctors. So, when I crossed my third year in the 
medical college here in India, I changed my plan. Now I am in my final year and 
after a couple of months, I will be passing out of the medical college. Instead of 
practising as a doctor, I will start writing and try to become a renowned writer. 
The decision is very important to me. I want to remain honest to my 
conscience. As a human being, it is impossible for me to deceive others in the 
name of help and care. I have seen many doctors who always run after money 
and they gain it. But I have also seen some other doctors who really want to 
help their patients. But in real life issues, they remain deprived of all the 
necessities of life as they cannot cut their patient’s pockets. Life turns 
miserable to them. To be transparent to my principals, I do not want to take 
that risk. My family is the top most prioritised issue to me. I will earn to spend 
for my family. If I have no earnings and I turn into a social worker, I will be 
unable to maintain my family. Therefore, this is highly important for me to 
achieve my alternative plan. 
I have three targets and I will try one after another to gain. Initially, I will try to 
be a writer of different books; especially I am highly skilled at mathematics. So, 
I think if I can write some books for lower classes like seventh or eighth grade, 
there are potentials for me to shine. Most of the solving papers available in the 
market are a bit complex. So, I have a plan to make the problems as much 
easier as possible. This is a time-consuming task and I have allotted enough 
time for me to turn into a writer. Besides, I have another alternative. I can 
apply against the post of mathematics teacher at any school or college. This is 
also a potential source of income for me. In fact in the present day, this is 
impossible to lead a decent life with a standard amount of money and if I could

materialise my plans, I will have plenty of money to lead my life decently. I 
have another plan as well that I will try to be both a writer and teacher of the 
similar subject. If I teach and apply my earned knowledge from teaching to 
writing a book, it would be more practical and helpful.
