When I get older...

Po "morphed" into a 38 year old...

Before wondering what I will be like in 20 years’ time, shouldn't I wonder how the world will have evolved? Either we will have realized that our planet is overexploited and we will have adapted our ways of lives to the situation or we will have carried on saying "we have the time" and we will live in a polluted world, breathe polluted air and swim in polluted water. Perhaps I am pessimistic, but I rather believe in the second hypothesis.

For my part, in 20 years, I will have had the time to study, to travel; in a nutshell: to start making a life for myself!

What will it be like? Well, maybe the first question to ask is: "What will I look like ?". As I will still be smoking, I can imagine that I will have wrinkles and a yellow skin. And also yellow teeth. But thanks to Colgate and L’Oreal, maybe I will have been spared this horror. Wait and see…
What about my health? I've already said that I will not have changed my smoking habit, so there is some risk that my lungs will be ruined. Nevertheless, I'm rather sporty so I hope it will have counterbalanced the effects of the tobacco.

Then, the most important issue is: "will I succeed in my studies and what about my job?". I am somebody who is determined and motivated. That's why I think I will manage my studies and find a job. But what job? I have always wanted to be an English teacher. And I know I will be. Of course it won't be easy, but it is my vocation.

I don't know where I will live, because I can be recruited anywhere in France but I hope I will live in a place where I will breathe pure air.

I don't think I will be married. I hope to live with somebody who is reliable and uncomplicated, who has the same interests. I see no point in getting married as we never know what tomorrow holds…

Though I don't want to marry, I do want children. But that’s not something I want to calculate in advance, it depends on so many things.

I think I will have the same hobbies as today: literature and travel. I hope I will be able to afford to travel the world; I want to see new horizons, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. I think it will be a marvelous experience that will bring me a lot.

Now you know about me a little better you can imagine more easily my life in 20 years. But only the future will tell what I will really be like aged 38.
