My educational goal is to study hard enough to be accepted into university and study in

the Computer Science: Bachelor of Arts program. I then want to move into a job of

interactive media designer/developer. I plan to attend UBC, UVIC, or UOT. I know I will

have a large sum of parental contributions that can only be used towards educational

purposes, such as tuition fees and book costs for when I am in school. To cover other

expenses, I will work a part time job. When I am done with school, all expenses will be

covered by working a full time job as an interactive media developer/designer. There may

be obstacles that come along the way, like sudden unplanned expenses or, for example,

getting fired. You should always make sure you have enough money to cover for an

unplanned cost and keep backup plans in case your job is unsteady. That way, you can

always be prepared for whatevers ahead.
