Fiachra an t-ainm atá orm. Tá mé ag staidéar do mo scrúduithe TGMO ag an bhomaite agus tá mé faoi bhrú na hoibre. Níl mé róchinnte cad é ba mhaith liom a dhéanamh amach anseo.
Má éiríonn liom sna scrúduithe TGMO, fanfaidh mé ar scoil agus déanfaidh mé Ardleibhéil. Sílim gur mhaith liom Gaeilge, Eacnamaíocht Bhaile agus Stair a dhéanamh.
Má éiríonn liom, tá rún agam dul ar ollscoil. Sílim go rachaidh mé go hOllscoil na Banríona mar ba mhaith liom céim a bhaint amach san Innealtóireacht.
Chuala mé go bhfuil saol sóisialta beo bríomhar ann. Thig liom bualadh le cairde nua, thig liom dul amach san oíche agus thig liom rogha leathan caitheamh aimsire a dhéanamh. Thig liom peil agus galf a imirt nó páirt a ghlacadh sa cheolfhoireann. Beidh cuid mhór airgid de dhíth orm agus beidh orm iasacht a fháil.

Translation
Fiachra is my name. I am studying for my GCSE exams at present and I am under pressure with the work. I am not too sure what I would like to do in the future.
If I succeed in the GCSE exams, I will stay in school and I will do A levels. I think I would like to do Irish, Home Economics and History.
If I succeed, I intend to go to university. I think I will go to Queen’s University as I would like to do a degree in Engineering.
I heard that there is a vibrant social life there. I could make new friends, I could go out at night and I could do a wide variety of hobbies. I could play football and golf or take part in the orchestra. I will need a lot of money and I will have to get a loan.
