In five years I will be seventeen, and unless something happens to keep me from it, I expect to be graduating that year, also. That means that I will have more time to do other things. Some of the things I expect I will do are:

Help my little sisters with their schoolwork. When I graduate, my little sister Emily will only be eight years old and finishing third grade. I expect I will help her with some of her schoolwork, as well as my two other sisters, if they want me to. It will be easier for my mom to teach all of them if she does not have to help them all at the same time.

Cooking a few meals a week for my family. I think it would be a good idea for me to do this (probably even before five years from now!), as it will not only teach me how to cook, but also relieve my mother of the responsibility once in a while! After all, she’s been doing it all herself ever since she got married. Amy and I have just started helping her a little. And I need to learn how to cook, too.

Another thing I could be doing in five years is sewing my own clothes. This is another thing that would be very good for me to learn how to do. With such a limited selection of clothes out there to buy, it’s a good idea to be able to sew your own. And I think that it would be fun, too, once I learned how and could do it on my own without a lot of help.

Besides things pertaining to homemaking, something else I may like to do someday would be to start a business of making webpages or templates for people. Working with computers and designing websites is something that I really enjoy, and I like to do it for fun. That would be the best kind of business to have: getting paid for having fun!

Another thing that I enjoy doing that I could get paid for is writing. I love to write stories! Perhaps I could even get into non-fiction writing and make an e-book that I could sell to hundreds of people!

I don’t know exactly what I’m going to be doing in five years, but I know what I want to be; I want to be a godly young lady serving the Lord with my talents and abilities. I want to be a virtuous young woman. I want my price to be far above rubies.
