Hi Gaige,
Adding to what Poli mentioned: When you have English phrases like "I want to be" and "I want to learn", the infinitives in these (here "to be" and "to learn") will also be written in infinitive form in Spanish: "Quiero ser" and "Deseo aprender". (Notice "ser" and "aprender" are not conjugated.)
If you want to place a future condition on a situation with "when/cuando", like "I will write my paper when I get up tomorrow", the present subjunctive is used in the when-clause in Spanish: "Escribiré mi artículo cuando me levante mañana." (You could also say "Escribo mi artículo cuando me levante mañana." or "Voy a escribir mi artículo cuando me levante mañana.")
"When I grow up" => "Cuando sea mayor"
Also, try to remember personal "a" when talking about people: "...quiero aliviar a otros...".
Best wishes on your test!
