Joseph discussing his future plans and career path

By Evan from Texas High School in Texas

“At the end of the day, I know what I want to do. I want to be in politics. That’s what I’m passionate about. That’s what I would love to do with my life. How I get there is a different story. I don’t know if I’m going to down the being a lawyer route or if I just want to go and be a civil servant or what suits me. But at the end of the day, I know my end goal is politics and I will work my hardest to get there.”
