An aim is a goal or objective to achieve in life. In order to succeed in life, one must

have a goal. My aim in life is to be a teacher. Teaching is a noble and responsible

profession. I have come to know that the ever-increasing misery and distress, are
due to the ignorance and illiteracy of the people of our country. So, I have decided to

spread education among the masses as much as possible within my humble power.

As a teacher, I shall try my best to impart man-making education. Some say that

money is the honey of life. But I do not agree with them. Rather, I think that morality

is the real honey of life. I want to be a lovable and respectable person as a teacher in

the future.
