EXPERIENCES AND GOALS

Ashley: ‘There are lots of things I want to do before I’m 20. You know, I’m a tennis player, and tennis is my life. I’ve played in a lot of amateur competitions, but I’ve never played tennis as a pro. I want to work hard and become a pro by the time I’m 20. I’ve taken a lot of tennis lessons and I’ve become a better player, so I think I can make it.’

Donald: ‘I’ve climbed a few mountains in my home state, California, but I want to climb the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. I’m not old enough to climb the highest mountains for now, but I’ve trained well for mountains that are below 5,000 metres high. For mountains higher than that, I need money to buy special equipment. I worked last summer and earned some money, but it isn’t enough.’
