I realized that financial security was a top priority for me. So, I sought out a lucrative job and ended up working as a financial manager. I also dabble in import and export.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including words like 'lucrative' and 'dabble'. However, there are some instances of less precise language, such as 'being among people in this society'. Using more specific and descriptive vocabulary would further enhance the answer.

The student demonstrates a good grasp of grammar, but there are a few minor errors. For example, 'when I grow up and, uh, I was being among people in this society' could be improved by using the present perfect tense ('have been').
