Minta nasihat
21 Desember
Ibu Rani yang terhormat,
Apa kabar, Bu? Saya harap Ibu sehat-sehat saja. Saya juga baik-baik tetapi sedikit kecewa karena baru saja melihat hasil HSC saya di internet.
Sayang, nilai HSC saya tidak seperti yang saya harapkan. Saya mendapat nilai rendah dalam beberapa pelajaran. Karena itu, saya kira saya tidak bisa masuk fakultas kesehatan. Sebenarnya saya ingin bekerja sebagai ahli fisioterapi karena saya sangat tertarik pada semua jenis olahraga.
Sebagai guru olahraga saya selama enam tahun, saya minta nasihat Ibu tentang apa yang harus saya lakukan.
Saya mempunyai beberapa pilihan:
- Saya akan masuk kelas 12 sekali lagi tahun depan.
- Saya akan masuk kursus lain yang berhubungan dengan olahraga. Saya mungkin bisa menjadi guru olahraga.
- Saya akan bekerja setahun sambil memikirkan masa depan saya.
Menurut Ibu, pilihan mana yang paling cocok untuk saya?
Atau, apakah Ibu mempunyai pendapat lain?
Saya menunggu nasihat Ibu dan mengucapkan terima kasih sebelumnya.
Hormat saya,
Liana
