The staff of the Kennedy School Newsletter asked students at our school to take a survey. In the survey, we asked, "What is your dream job?" We asked 400 students at our school. Here are the results of our survey.

     Most of the students at our school wanted to be professional athletes (专业运动员) in the future! At our school, 64 people hoped to be sports stars in the future. This included 32 future soccer players, 12 baseball players, 10 basketball players, 7 tennis players, and 3 hockey players.

     Lots of students at our school also wanted to be movie stars or singers.58 students said they wanted to become singers, and 57 said they wanted to act in movies. We hope your dreams come true! Just remember your friends from school when you become superstars.

     Other popular future jobs are vets (49), computer programmers (40), writers (30), and artists (29). To our surprise, very few students at our school wanted to be doctors (7), lawyers (13), or business people (4). And the teachers at our school may be surprised to know that only 9 students hoped to teach in the future. Sorry teachers!

     You can see the rest of the results from our survey in the chart. And for those students who did not get to answer our survey, please stop by our office. We want to know your ideas, tool We will add your answers to our survey results and publish the final results in the school yearbook.

     Thanks for helping us make this interesting survey so successful!
