My dream as a child
We are usually asked this question very early in life: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is one of the most popular questions asked by your parents or relatives. Parents usually ask this question to their children to encourage their kids about their future. It seems like an easy question, but its not. Not many children know what they want to be when they grow up. Many of us say those careers that we think are the most popular such as; police officer, firefighter, nurse, teacher, or a doctor. I can remember when my parents would ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The first thing that came to my mind was a police officer and a dancer. All I knew was that I wanted to be a police officer because I wanted to be like my dad and a dancer because I wanted to teach people how dance. Unfortunately, as I grew up, I came to realize that it would take much effort to obtain a diploma in both of those professions. No one ever mentioned the hard work or how long it actually takes to become a police officer or a professional dancer. All I heard was, “You can become whatever you want.”
Once I got out of high school I was not sure what I wanted to pursue as a career, the only thing I knew was that I did not wanted to become a police officer. Even though I was an adult, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue as a career. It was when I was in my third year of college when I decided to get a major in Human Resource Development and a minor in Dance. Once I got out of high school I was not sure what I wanted to pursue as a career, the only thing I knew was that I did not wanted to become a police officer. Even though I was an adult, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue as a career. I never gave up on the idea of becoming a dancer. My mother knew I was going to be a dancer. She still remembers how I used to move, almost all the time inside her belly.
