EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Perhaps my decision to become a Jedi was too hasty and perhaps you would agree that I should reconsider my choice of a future career. However, the contents of this assignment are based upon the abrupt decision I had to make in order to complete this document.

I am confident in my belief that space technology is as advanced in other galaxies as George Lucas has described and I regard this man as a prophet in our time. THe human race can expect a visitiation from an alien race in the next decade.

INTRODUCTION
As a student in Grade Twelve, I understand that a career choice is something that I must consider carefully so as to attempt to make a decision this year. I did not have any clear ideas of what choice I would make until I was struck by inspiration a day after completing my Semester 3 block exams. That was the day my family took me to see the movie "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace". My destiny was realised: I am to become a Jedi!

CONCLUSIONS

Although the danger involved in becoming a Jedi are high, I believe that the rewards are worth the risks. Defending the galaxy from the forces of evil is a dream which can best be realised by becoming a Jedi. My only fear is fear itself, as fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the Dark Side.
