Personal Narrative: Growing Up
Growing up I had dreams of
what I wanted to be when I grew up.
As I got older my dreams changed to
new things, I never stuck to one thing
for too long. I soon realized that one
day I would have to pick one thing and
actually pursue it. There are many
things I would like to do but to this day
I still cannot pick one.
When I was younger I wanted to
be many things “when I grew up.” I
wanted to be a dancer, a teacher, a
gymnast, a professional sports player,
a singer, anything you could think of I
wanted to be it. And I actually
pretended to be all of these things.
Some still interest me and others I’ve
grown out of. I’ve always loved trying
new things and finding what I’m good
at and discovering
what I wanted to be when I grew up.
