The text
Mother: After a long period of study, you are
finally in 4AM and you’ll pass your Brevet exam in a
few months to come. Now you know many things
about your country and the world around you. You will
have to make important choices. Some students will
look for a job, others will keep on studying. You will
have to decide what to do in the future. What about you
son ?
Son: Well mum. You know I dislike being
ordinary and passive. As I am ambitious, I want to be
an important officer in the Algerian Army. That’s why
I will opt for the technical stream. I’ll work as hard as I
can in high school. If I pass my Baccalaureate with
high grades, I’ll get a scholarship. I’ll choose to go to a
foreign country to study military aviation in order to
become a skillful aircraft pilot. After I finish my
training, I’ll come again to serve my country.
Mother: You know you are important to your
family and your community. You must realize that your
attitude will build your future and the future starts
today. May God realize all your dreams.
