One day, I want to go to college to become a chef. So after work, I go to night school where I learn to read and write. I have a learning disability. I went to high school in British Columbia, but I fell through the cracks. Sure, going to work and school at the same time is hard. I won\u2019t give up, though. I just have to plan my time well. I always leave for work and school earlier than I need to. That way, I will always be on time. I make to-do lists to keep track of my homework and chores. I set myself deadlines for each task on my list. Thinking about my dream of being a chef helps me meet my deadlines, even when I don\u2019t feel like it. And I make sure to leave lots of time for sleep, so that I\u2019ll be at my best during the day. Like I said, I\u2019m a busy guy. I\u2019ve got big dreams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"bcc-box bcc-info\">\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"educationalUse\">Writing Task<\/h3>\r\nWrite the title <em>Talking about Time<\/em> in your notebook.
