I really wanted to learn karate. I want to join classes for this. There is a class nearby my place where they teach karate. In that classes, it is not like the age limit. They take students up to 35yrs. There are a few of my friends who were taking coaching over there. From them, I came to know about this class. I want this to learn as I feel that every girl should know self-defence. And this is one of the required things as per circumstance nowadays. There are many casualties that happen with girls, and there are two reasons that I want to learn is I can be self-dependent. Also, my daughter wants to be an army person, so if I do something unique, she will definitely get motivated by me. And she will stick with her dream to prove it correct. I want to be an inspiration for my daughter. So I want to be a karate champion.
Sample 2
I am not proficient in any of the skills that I have. I would like to improve my dancing skills. I became interested in dance during my college time as my best friend was a passionate dancer. She is an excellent dancer and had taught me to dance in college. I couldn’t do well as I hadn’t danced before. I lost my touch with dance now. For improving this further, I would like to go to one dance institute in Kochi. I had taken this decision because my best friend had called me recently and we were sharing our old memories in college, and she asked me if I am practising dance now. This made me realise that I had lost touch with this skill. I’m thankful to my friend for opening up my mind. I would dedicate my time effectively to this skill and would like to continue it along with my profession.
